Everytime we travel to Dallas, we purchase a couple of orchids from Gunther's, sure they are more expensive than Home Depot's, but he has varieties you will never find in a big box store, or even in most nurseries! He always tells me the difference in care between the different varieties, and all of his plants I have purchased have flourished, unlike several I have bought at Home Depot or Lowes. It has become a landmark stop for me - something I look so forward to! I'm no orchid expert, but the way mine are growing and especially blooming, you might think that I was!! His orchids have even made it through the "scanner" at the airport, and the unfriendly airport security who did not like that I had a plant - of all things!! Next time, I'll wrap carefully and put in my suitcase, but I won't skip going to Gunther's. It is such a pleasure to visit his greenhouses and beautiful blooms, even if you don't purchase!
