We'd highly
recommend Carter
and Holmes Orchids because their orchids
are grown well, and the company stands behind their plants.
Every Orchid We've seen them mail or that we've bought in
person (we've bought quite a lot from them) looks good. They're
grown well and are planted in a good mix for the home Orchid
grower. They have been growing Orchids for a very long time
and know Orchids well.
San
Francisco Bay area and Beyond
Growers in the San
Francisco Bay Area that we highly recommend buying from
in person are Carson
Barnes Orchids, Sunset Orchids, Tom Perlite
Orchids, McLellan Botanicals, and Fordyce
Orchids.
