Default The Orchid Trail

Just got back from my first visit to this vender.

I have to say I was impressed. The greenhouses were very clean. Naturally clean, like they never need any scrubbing. The plants were clean and seemed well cared for. Nary a bug in sight! And I did look for them. Found nothing that would need repotting. All the media looked fresh. The set up was simple and easy to navigate.

They have many, many more orchids than is reflected on their website. The fella I chatted with there was very nice and I'm sure they would welcome calls about what available orchids they have.

Lots of mounted orchids! Some tiny ones. Lots of variety. I wish I wasn't such a newbie, so I could give a better description of the flowers.

Good prices. From what I saw, ranged from <10 bucks to around 35.

They have one greenhouse dedicated to their own private collection. Some pretty stuff in there.

Overall very good impression with this place. The plants all seemed healthy and happy. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

I took some pics but not sure where I should post them. Advice please?

You can post them here in the photos section or even in this thread. If neither appeals to you then I will be happy to post them in the same album I have for Orchid Trail on my website. I need to get back there.
