Go to Shelldance and you'll be only 10 meters away from Dan's greenhouse. I describe how to get to Shelldance in my review of them. Dan's collection is spectacular. I think much of the collection is not for sale, but like Nancy next door, if the plant is big enough he will sometimes sell cuttings from them. Squeezing through the narrow walkways overgrown with orchids and ferns felt like pushing through the forest at Monteverde. The benches themselves are covered with orchids and ferns. I don't mean in pots, but the wood frames of the benches have orchids growing on them. And under them. Everywhere. Someday I want a place like this. He has a lot of very unusual plants, and species Ive seen almost nowhere else. Dan is extremely nice and when I go, I spend a lot of time just talking about orchids with him and feel guilty for taking up so much time. But I think he's like I am with other animals like snakes and lizards, where Ill talk to people for hours about them, too. Its really impressive how much he knows about all his plants: not just the species or where they are native to, but who gave him that individual plant, how long ago, where they got it, etc. I guess I know these things about my plants too, but he has two or three orders of magnitude more plants than I do. Anyone with a real interest in orchids beyond what you see at Home Depot or Safeway should walk around here for a while.

I have been buying orchids from Dan for over 10 years. He has very reasonable prices and fabulous plants. He is very good at sharing growing information. If you just follow 3 or 4 requirements for each orchid, you will find you can keep them alive and get them to bloom each year. If you are looking for something special or unusual, this is the place to go. The owner, Dan Newman, is extremely knowledgeable and one of the kindest people I know. If you tell him about your growing conditions, he will recommend orchids that will do well in that situation. He has everything from reliable windowsill growers to fussy greenhouse rarities. Just because an orchid is reliable and easy to grow doesn't mean it won't be spectacular when in bloom! If you don't want to go to Pacifica, you can call and ask him which shows and sales he will have a booth at - he may be selling some place near you. He doesn't keep a list of his plants on his website. You just need to set up an appointment and go and see for yourself. He also does orchid boarding, so if you only want your orchids around when they are blooming, you can arrange that also.
