Here is a link that might be useful: CT orchid society

The Cape and Islands Orchid Society gives a show every year on Cape Cod.

While I was looking for the website, I ran into this site, the Orchid Mall which lists an incredible number of orchid societies all over the world.

I know nothing about any of these.

I just realized you want to find orchid growers. Like Molie says, these societies should be able to help you.

My dentist is an orchid enthusiast, and I think he buys plants at an exchange or market somewhere in Boston.

Bill,
Mariko Kawaguchi who co authored a book on rare orchids with Rosalie H. Davis works at Donaroma's a nursery on the Vineyard you might try contacting her.

The Cape and Islands Orchid Society website says:

"The October Meeting will be held on, Sunday, October 18th.
This meeting will be the Annual Orchid Auction.
Monies from this auction help us put on the January Show, so save the date & bring your dollars!
Great Orchids are available for excellent auction prices.
(There is always room for a few more!)

Administration Building of the Barnstable County Fairgrounds Rt 151 in Falmouth, MA"

Maybe worth a visit to the Cape.

Claire, Molie and Katy,
