Where to sell your orchids
The one great thing about orchids is that they are always in demand. Almost every season has a special occasion that orchids are known for. Because they are in demand the year round, many florists do not have them and that is where YOU come in. Florists need a second source of orchids should their regular wholesale source run dry.
You can approach local florists and let them know that you are a hobbyist that has orchid flowers for sale. Tell them the colors and seasons you have orchids available as well as showing them a few photos of what you have. You don't have to negotiate prices at that point since prices will be determined by market demand.
Have calling cards made with your contact information on them and leave the florist with a card. Don't forget to get their name and contact information should they sound interested. Call them back in a few weeks just to touch bases with them and keep your name fresh in their minds.
