2016 Global Vendors Highlights
Visiting the SB International Orchid Show is truly an exotic experience. With expert hobbyist growers, commercial nurseries, regional orchid societies and international growers from Ecuador, Brazil, Thailand, and Columbia bringing their most unique and largest orchids and presenting them in beautiful (and often wild) exhibits, it is like going to a faraway land.
For beginners and serious collectors, many of these same growers will have plants for sale in the adjoining Vendor Hall. You can bring them home without having to go through customs!”
