Louisiana Orchid Connection

Hi,

Has anyone heard of this nursery?

It's located in Baton Rouge. I would like to contact them to see if I can visit, but it seems their contact us page doesn't work.

 

Thanks Jon.

I sent him an email.

 

Thanks, I've only seen what they have posted on their website, but they seem to have many interesting things. Hopefully I will be able to go visit, and I'll keep what you said in mind

 

I was able to visit the nursery, and I was very impressed. Everything was very organized, and Dr. Tin was more than accommodating. He had many interesting plants, and I learned alot.

Here's what I got:

Rangaeris amaniensis- mounted
Angraecum leonis- potted
Eurychone rothschildiana- potted in bloom
Sobennikoffia humbertiana (2)- potted

 

Thanks Alexis and Mr. B. He had many more Angs and many walls of mounted species Phals.

Mr.B Angs are my favorites. Unfortunately, finding many species available is difficult. i wish I had a collection as extensive as yours.

 

Took another trip to LA Orchid Connection today. There's some really cool stuff in the works there right now. I came home with an Aerangis mystacidii in bud. I'll post pictures once the flowers open. Fingers crossed it doesn't blast.

 

There were a few Phal. equestris varieties in bloom this time that were really nice along with MANY other interesting plants. The greenhouse will be less than 15 minutes from my apartment once I move back to Baton Rouge for school, so I have a feeling I'll be making many more trips over there in the future.

 

I'll be out of room for plants there shortly since I'm limiting myself to only growing in a couple tanks. This will make sure everything stays in moderation. Thankfully, I have a scholarship that covers my meal plan and also contains a stipend for an undergrad research job. No ramen noodles here!
