Looking for a phal wholesale supplier

[turock]

I'm currently making and selling phalaenopsis arrangements in my little town and am looking for a wholesale source that supplies decent phal hybrids. The people I sell to aren't interested in tagged plants, just pretty blooms.

It has been incredibly difficult to find a business that will provide small orders (30 plants or so) with reasonable prices. It may be a long shot, but I thought I'd ask if anyone here could recommend a source to buy phal hybrids in bulk.

The two wholesalers that come to mind are
http://www.taisucoamerica.com/about/orchids/
and Products - MATSUI NURSERY | Making lives more beautiful, one orchid at a time.

You'll have to contact them for order minimums. I suspect they'll want big regularly scheduled orders.

Many of the Hawaiian places wholesale/volume discounts but not necessarily blooming.

You might also try shooting Rayna a note at The Orchid Works/Malika Orchids (rayna@theorchidworks.com)--you can tell her Adam in Oregon sent you... You might also check out orchiddistributors.com or turtlepondorchids.com; if memory serves, both offer "bulk" plants primarily to the florist trade.
Hope this helps,
Adam
PS: If you're interested in branching out a bit (ie arranging with a few paphs, check out Lehua Orchids (lehuaorchids.com); great plants that will fit your budget as well...

Thanks for the info! I was previously doing business with Matsui, but they raised their minimum order to $500, and I'm just not pushing enough volume to justify that at this moment. I reached out to Taisuco and hope to hear back from them soon.

I love Rayna and the Orchid Works! I will definitely give her a shout. Turtle Pond is also nice, but not as competitive price-wise. I will check out The Orchid Distributors. And, I'll keep Lehua Orchids in mind, especially once my business grows! *knock on wood

Thank you for your suggestions!
