    There are some specialty that you can't find at the grocery stores. You'll get a chance to find orchids with fragrances and yes, orchid does have high fragrance. Always making unexpected purchases at this place ‍

    Beautiful Orchid

    Saw this place after visiting HEB and I knew I had to stop. Plenty of options besides orchids that make me want to go back. Staff was incredibly friendly and so helpful! I was definitely in awe. Looks like I'll have to make space for more plants!

    I found Lee right after moving to Houston four years ago. A friend had a beautiful and unusual orchid on his coffee table and he told me to look her up. I've been 'leasing' ever since. Here's how it works: you buy an orchid PLUS the personal care instructions with the plant in bloom or about to bloom. You then have fresh flowers for one to two months. Then once it's spent you bring the plants back for new ones. This is much more satisfying than those 'puppy farm' orchids you get at the grocery store, and now I've learned enough to rebloom three of the plants I didn't take back! Every time the stock is different depending on what's blooming.

    Orchids and bromeliads !

    A great nursery ! Greenhouses filled with the most beautiful and unusual orchids, bromeliads, ferns,etc. This was our first visit , but we are sure to go back again soon. We did walk away with purchasing 4 orchids and a bromeliad because the prices are just too great to pass up . The owner is very knowledgeable and is so very helpful . I highly suggest anyone who loves unique plants visit this place, you won't regret it !!!!

    An antique copper vase I found there. Love it!

    I was just lost at this place! Such a wide variety of orchids! Different kinds, shape, colors, smells. Amazing! They also have some really nice pots and planters. Another nice thing about this place is that they can make you your own custom orchid arrangement. Definitely not your regular grocery store orchids. And the owner is a REALLY nice lady! There is no question about orchids that she can't answer! Great place! Great variety! Great customer service! Highly recommend!

    Brandi did this beautiful arrangement for Mother's Day. I live out of town and happened to find Orchid Express on Yelp. She worked with me to find out what I liked by sending her photos and she sent me photos of her ideas. She delivered it to our mother for Mother's Day. My siblings and I were very pleased as well as our mother!

    Beautiful Orchid delivered!!!

    FANTASTIC! They did a great job selecting and delivering the orchid to someone who needed it to brighten her day. I'm in Houston now and the orchid is still blooming. Healthy and beautiful, it will last for a while. They also did a same day delivery as I called early in the morning. If you need to send flowers to someone in Houston don't! Use Orchid Express and send them an Orchid that will brighten their days for weeks even months.

    This shop has been on my to-do list for a couple of months now, I am regretting that I didn't get there sooner! Lee is so awesome and there are plenty of orchids to choose from. If you are lost as to what will look good, she has a good eye on what planters go with what. I went in planning on buying one orchid and left with two orchids (Happy Dancer and Kaleidoscope) and Lee helped me pick the perfect planters and even planted them as well. I was really impressed and hope to get back to the shop to see her again soon!

    Love my succulent arrangement!

    Helpful service! I needed dirt so we stopped in. He said they will receive a shipment the next day,…read moreso only one bag of "general dirt" was available. I purchased that for $5. I also got a vermiculite potting mix for my Chelsea Hoya. He gave me a great tip to slowly increase the size of my pot when I repot each year (I wanted to make a big jump, but that could shock the plant and not give it time to adjust). I didn't buy any plants this visit, but when I need a new plant, will stop here first.

I went here for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago just looking, with one specific thing in mind I wanted to buy but expectations low (I'll get into that later). I did end up getting a small basil plant, and then a bigger tomato plant. Spent less then $7 and both plants are still doing good. They sell a huge variety of items, and definitely a spot to get more rare items. So initially I came across this place by googling what places might have butterfly pea and people mentioned getting it here here. Mind you though the posts I saw on fb were over 7 months old so I figured depending on season I might be out of luck, and so I went with low hopes the first time I went and they had none. (Wonderful selection just not what I was looking for, plus I had people waiting in the car for me so I didnt really get to look more in depth into all the plants.) I did ask though as I was checking out if they would be getting some anytime soon (I really didnt want to try growing some myself from seedlings) and the lady said they should in a few weeks and even gave me a card in the case I wanted to call ahead to see if they had any. Well she wasn't lying cause I went back today and they had the plant I wanted in stock! It was an impromptu kind of trip so I didnt bother to call ahead, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it as I walked in. Also walked out with a "dragons breath" and my parter walked out with a "mexican bird of paradise" and a "boxwood basil" which we had yet to see and the few other nursery/garden stores we had been to. We'll be back every now and then to see what other unique plants we can get. 2 pics show the bigger plants we got that we repotted as soon as we got home

    I cannot say enough good things about this place!…read more I have a black thumb, meaning I kill every plant type thing, just by being in the vicinity. Maybe I look at them the wrong way? Either way, plants don't like me. Much to my sadness! I received a peace lily when my aunt passed and for many sentimental reasons I am dead set on keeping this one alive. It's been hard, and I've tried everything mentioned online- changing the location, repotting, giving water daily, giving water once a week, etc. Nothing worked! Finally a friend mentioned this place, and how you can take your plants there, and they'll provide TLC and I figured what the heck! But TLC is the bare minimum, they do so much more! They drilled a hole into my pot for better drainage, changed the soil, added fertilizer, and some rocks on top for better protection. I feel like now I have a fighting chance for my plant. I didn't even know this was a service that any place provided. I felt so looked after and taken care of. Everyone here is so kind to boot, and it's a beautiful nursery with so much parking.

I spotted some Silver Falls for around $2.50, which wasn't a bad deal, though most of the plants tend to be on the higher end. Still, the quality and atmosphere are hard to beat. The pottery and planter selection is gorgeous!, and the little shop inside is full of charm (curated clothing, glassware, and home pieces) that feel effortless but elevated. Right next to Tiny Boxwoods and Tiny's Milk and Cookies, so it's perfect for a relaxing browse before grabbing a treat or lunch. Great stop for a little inspiration (and maybe a splurge!).

From the time my friend and I arrived, we did not feel welcomed. The interactions with the owner left us feeling uncomfortable, and the overall atmosphere made it seem as though we weren't wanted there. We stayed, participated in the event, and each made purchases despite how we felt. After I got home, I discovered that the shop had blocked me on Instagram, even though I had been nothing but polite during my visit. That left me confused and made an already disappointing experience feel even more personal. I reached out privately before writing this review because I wanted to give the business an opportunity to address my concerns. I explained that I had recently lost my son and had come to the shop specifically to find a plant for his memorial shelf. I also shared that I chose this shop because I wanted that purchase to come from a place that felt meaningful. While my loss was acknowledged, the response I received felt focused on policy rather than genuinely addressing my experience or the concerns I raised. I understand businesses have return policies, but kindness, accountability, and customer service matter too. I truly wanted this to be a positive experience, and I'm saddened that it wasn't. I hope this feedback encourages the business to reflect on how customers are made to feel, because that can leave a lasting impression long after a purchase is made.
