About Us
Orchids Limited began in 1978 as a very small orchid nursery specializing in mail order and retail. We have since expanded to five orchid greenhouses, each with its own special climate. Quality is our goal, from the products we sell to the customer service we provide. From our continually evolving stud collection, we propagate select forms of species, new and old. We strive to create new directions in orchid hybridization. We have developed what we and many of our customers believe to be the best orchid packing and shipping techniques in the industry. When you've placed your first order, you can be sure we'll take every care possible to see that your orchids and supplies arrive safely. We guarantee you'll be pleased with your OrchidWeb experience! Take one of our testimonials for example:
"I just wanted you to know how happy I was with my order. My plant arrived very quickly and in great condition! I was very impressed that you were able to keep the bud intact because of how big it was! Excellent packing job! Now I am eagerly awaiting its opening. I will definitely buy from you again in the future and will recommend you to anyone I know that is into orchids. Once again thank you!"
In-Person Shopping: Our nursery is open to in-person retail shopping on Fridays from 10am-4pm and the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 10am-3pm. We also offer Curbside Pickup and flat-rate Delivery within the metro area Monday through Friday. Please place your order online and we will contact you via email when your order is ready.

Cool Orchid Greenhouse
This is our coolest climate greenhouse in which we grow several species and hybrids, many of which come from South America, or areas of high elevation where the plants are exposed to cooler climates. To name a few, we grow Japanese Cymbidium, Lycaste, Masdevallia, Pleurothallis, Zygopetalum, Miltoniopsis and Intergeneric Oncidiinae.
