Buying Vietnam orchid flasks

[Allan]

I am interested in buying orchid flasks from Asia at present Vietnam. In Australia we are allowed to bring in 6 flasks per person. Does anyone know any orchid nursery in Vietnam

i am vietnamese, I can tell you this way: dont buy any flasks there. First, they dont know exactly the name tag of these flasks. Second, 95% flasks have gotten some problems. IF you still want to go there and have a look, and if you go to Ho Chi Minh city, you can go to Hoang Van Thu street near a corner with Pham Van Hai, and go to KIM NGAN store in Tran Phu street( in a one-way street ).

so far, I can say: Good luck.

PS: in vietnam, we dont buy any orchids if we can not see exactly their flowers.

They have collected around 250 species orchids in Vietnam. They may have some flasks for sale, I think. This is the only place i think their flasks is good and "healthy".

Have a nice day. Allan
