Default anybody know of good Alabama vendors?

Hi everybody,
Is is anyone familiar with good orchid vendors in Alabama? There are NONE in my area (Cullman). I have to rely on Lowes or Walmart (goodness forbid) now. It would really be nice to find one/some not too far away, if poss. If not, online ordering would be fine, too.
Thanks,
Vicki

Hi Vicki! I don't live in Alabama so I can't help you there. But you said you would be interested in ordering online? Do you want me to list a couple of online vendors I've had good experiences with?

Hi Sarah!
The only two online vendors who I have ordered from are Andy's Orchids and Oak Hill Gardens.....both of which I was more than very pleased with. If you have had good experiences with any other than these two, I really would appreciate your input.
Thank you for your reply and offer to help me!
Vicki

Andy's and Oak Hill are probably my favorites. You could try checking out these too.

Orchid Growers - Hakalau, HI - Carmela Orchids
I've never ordered from them but I want too. I've heard such good things. The shipping looks kinda high so I would want to order a few to make up for it.

Welcome to Carter and Holmes Orchids Home Page

Welcome to Orchids By Hausermann On-Line Orchid catalog.
Definitely repot if you order from here. I never had any issues with bad broken down media but others have. I have gotten really nice plants from here though.

Home Page
Beautiful plants but high shipping charges!

Big Leaf Orchids - online phalaenopsis store
Only phals, some are quite pricey but others are very reasonable. Beautiful plants though!

Cool Phrog Orchids
Have you checked this out yet? She is a moderator on here. I've never ordered from there before but I will when the weather warms up here.

I live in a small town and there is nowhere to buy orchids around here either. There are a ton of places to order from but I just listed the few I've dealt with or heard good things about. I just have fun looking at all the cool orchids! Hope that helps a little!

The only AL I know of is Orchidbabies in Brierfield, AL. They specialize in Paph and Phrags, but you have to schedule an appointment if you want to visit. A quick check on Google Maps says its 1 3/4 hours south from you.

Also there is Peach State Orchids is GA. It's about 2 hours east. But I've never ordered from them

I love seeing Orchidbabies at the local shows here...they always have great minis, always species and almost always stuff that you don't usually see elsewhere.
