By the way, by donating plants or money you join Friends of OrchidMania and receive privileges, invitations and maybe even cool gifts. We need donations of healthy, live orchid plants of all kinds, and we accept donations from individuals and nurseries. Commercial orchid growers can join our directory of orchid nurseries by making a plant donation. We can also use cut flowers. Unfortunately, we are not able to use gift certificates.
Seedlings are difficult to sell.
Naturally, plants in bud or in flower bring us more money. San Francisco orchid enthusiasts are among the most knowledgeable in the world, and species are especially welcome. If you can donate plants, we will send you shipping instructions on request. OrchidMania needs volunteers who are willing to commit time and effort on a regular basis. If you like the OrchidMania idea, we will help you establish a sister organization in your own city.
