Welcome to the World of ...
Greetings from southeast Florida. In addition to the hundreds of orchids we have been offering on our website, we have been adding many exciting new orchid clones and species. If you haven’t browsed through our selection lately, you may want to take the time to do so again. As usual, we strive to provide you with the best quality orchids available. We have the largest selection of high quality cattleya mericlones found anywhere. Most of our orchids are mature, well grown, blooming size plants that you won’t have to wait for years to bloom. Our large selection and top quality plants make us the premier source for your orchid needs.
With over 60,000 square feet of greenhouses, Odom’s Orchids is one of the largest retail
growers and shippers of orchids in the United States. Our greenhouses are located in
Ft. Pierce, on Florida’s southeast coast. We are just one mile off of Interstate 95, two
miles off the Florida’s Turnpike, about one hour north of West Palm Beach, or about 120
miles north of Miami or southeast of Orlando. We are open to the public during the week,
so stop by and see us if you are in the area.
We have been on the world wide web for about a decade now, and were one of the first orchid
growers to offer on-line shopping. For those of you who do not shop online, you can order
by phone, fax, or mail.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to providing you with new outstanding
and rewarding orchids for your growing enjoyment.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SHIPPING. PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING.
WINTER SHIPPING.
During the Winter months (Dec. - March), extreme caution must be taken when shipping to ensure the health of the orchids. Orchids cannot take temps below 35 degrees for any length of time. Therefore, shipping to much of the northern and mountain areas of the U.S. at this time is impossible. We will have to hold orders to these areas until weather warms up in the Spring. Orders to most other areas can be shipped by closely watching the weather and shipping via 2-DAY EXPRESS ONLY when the weather allows. Shipping via Ground can only be done to the extreme southeast and Gulf coast areas and only during periods of warmer temps. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU CHECK GROUND SHIPPING, IT WILL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! WE WILL NOT GUARANTEE SAFE SHIPPING VIA GROUND OVER THE WINTER. UNLESS YOU AUTHORIZE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PLANTS, WE WILL HAVE TO HOLD YOUR ORDER UNTIL THE WEATHER BECOMES CONSISTENTLY WARMER TOWARDS SPRING. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Shipping Policy
We ship via FedEx. You have the option of Ground shipping or 2-3 Day Air shipping.
Ground shipping is much more economical (generally $8 to $15), however, there is a greater risk of damage to plants, usually from heat in summer, or cold in winter. As we are located in Florida, these problems are more prevelent in orders traveling across country to the western half of the U.S., and these orders can take 5-6 days to reach some more distant locations. We ship via Ground only on Mondays. If your order is placed after noon on Monday or any time later in the week, it will not go out until the following Monday. If you need the order sooner, please check 2-3 Day Express shipping.
2-3 Day Express (Air) shipping is done Monday-Wednesday. This method is much safer for the orchids, but can be quite expensive, especially going to the west coast or far north ($18-35+). This method is recommended for orders to the Southwest in summer and the north and northwest in winter, or for any orders that need to arrive quickly.
Any orders received after noon on Wednesday, either Express or Ground, will be shipped the following week. Please check the appropriate box for your desired shipping method when filling out your order form. Thank you.
Attention: New E-Mail Address
Odom's Orchids has a new e-mail address effective immediately. Our new address is odoms-orchids@att.net. It is the same as the old address, without the 'worldnet'.
Please note: There are times when we get overwhelmed with orders. Please be patient with us if your order is delayed. We will do everything we can to be sure your orchids are packed and shipped safely to you as soon as possible.

(Su) Summer, (F) Fall, & (V) Various. (BS) means "Blooming size" within 12 months

Important Notice: Orchids are very sensitive to environmental
changes, therefore we cannot guarantee budded plants against "bud blasting".
Listings on this website in regards to availability, sizes, prices, etc., supercede all previous listings.
ORCHIDS FOR GIFTS AND SPECIAL OCCASIONS:
We are sorry, but due to
the many requests for orchids in bud or flower, we cannot guarantee to have
your selection in bloom. Most orchids have a specific blooming season and they
are not always available in bud throughout the year. We will always strive to
find flowering plants whenever possible for our customer’s requests. Please have some
alternate choices when placing your order for gifts, or let us pick for you.
We thank you.

My recent order arrived in perfect condition, as they always do from
Odom's! I never stop being amazed at the quality, health, and nice
sized plants you send in my orders! I am never disappointed and
always thrilled when that large box arrives!

things." I wanted to tell you, that you folks always do it the right
way! It is most appreciated by your customers!" - J.A., FL |

healthy plants you shipped to me today. I have been doing mail order orchids for
about 4 years now, and I must say that these are the happiest and healthiest plants

California to Florida. My 3 plants came lovingly wrapped, free from any damage.
Please share my sincere 'thank you' with anyone that selected, wrapped or shipped
my plants. Keep up the great growing! Kindest Regards, D.B., MA" |
