Searching Tips. (if anyone has any other ways, let me know and I will add it here)

The best way I have found to research plant to suggest, is to locate a orchid from a local vendor to you, that fit the criteria. Then using the links below see if the other place's also have it. If you find one or more that fit the criteria and located everywhere then take note's of the plant, where you found it for each location, and how much. If possible supply the IOSPE link.


Tentative list: (The one's inRed have issue's and may not make the final poll)(and almost all of these suggestions do not meet the requirement in Canada.
