I bought a bunch of plants when they came to Florida. They did our meeting. So no freight experience. But I think they can ship when they tour US and get reasonable freight. I did like their plants. Most have bloomed.

Allymarie,

Below is a link to their show schedule for 2014. They were in Homestead, FL in mid-May and will be in Miami in October. From October 2-5, they will be at the 2014 South Florida Orchid Society Orchid Show located at the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami, 1245 Dauer Drive, Coral Gables, FL 33146.

The deadline for pre-orders for that show is September 10, 2014.

The have lots of other shows in the cities around the U.S. this year, too.

You can order plants from them and they'll ship them to you next week. You'll pay CITES, Phyto and shipping expenses.

The logical way is to order from them and have them ship the plants to you USPS the next time they set foot in the US which happens frequently. They list the shows they attend on their web page. It does not matter where the show is, East Coast or West Coast, The cost to you is the same as they'll bring the plants there and then post them to you. It is much cheaper.

Many orchid societies have special deals with them. San Diego Orchid Society, for example, will collect a pre-order and you end up paying the exact list price of the plant with no additional charges. That's the way I usually order from them and it works out real great.

There is also an eBay vendor 'Big Oak Orchids', who usually posts quite a few Ecuagenera plants on his website. Unless someone bids like crazy, you can get Ecuagenera plants that way at either the list price or just a little more. Many of his plants are still wrapped in the Ecuagenera wrapping. I have received them in good shape. When bidding on one of his plants, go to the Ecuagenera web page and see what the plant sells for if ordered directly, then bid on it. Here is his link:

When looking at his offering the second picture is usually the exact plant he is selling. If the roots are wrapped in brown paper tape it's a recent arrival from Ecuagenera.
