Educational Sites
http://chat.phalaenopsis.net/ - one of my favorite sites! I've learned so much from this site and the growers who post here. The site is moderated by Peter Lin of Big Leaf Orchids, he has 30+ years experience with orchids. A large portion of my collection comes from his business!
http://www.phals.net/ - French site, dedicated to Phalaenopsis species and primary hybrids. This site has been very crucial in my understanding of the species. There is a plethora of photos for each of the sixty or so Phalaenopsis species and their primary hybrids. Also I get a lot of great breeding ideas from the site! A must see site!
Orchid Nurseries
http://www.orchidview.com/ - One of my absolute favorite places on Earth!! Orchidview is located in Monck's Corner, South Carolina- very close to Charleston, S.C. Orchidview is the retirement pass-time of H.P. Norton and is a family business that is run by his wife Katherine, and their daughter Carol. They are some of the most kind and generous people, and are a true example of Southern Hospitality! Also they are WORLD FAMOUS for their Phalaenopsis violacea breeding program, which has yielded the rare indigo violacea! They have many, many wonderful hybrids and species! Over half my collection is from their nursery.
