I love Behnke! They always have classes going on and different events. I really had a beautiful time at the annual orchid show last year. The selection and the tour was amazing. I will say that their orchid selection is pretty boring consistenting mainly, and only, of Phalaenopsis. I've haven't gone there yet and saw other genera. Not only that, their Phals. are pretty expensive, never going below $35.99 unless there is a 25% off sale on tropical plants. I haven't found a reason for this mark up on the plants either. Their phals are no different or any more healthy than the phals at the big box stores. I will say that many of the phals I have purchased there were a little larger than some I've gotten at box stores, so many that constitutes the cost? However, I've seen smaller phalaenopsis plants there with the same price so maybe not. It would also be nice if the plants were identified with more than just their common name, but I do understand they come that way from the wholesalers so I can't really ding them for that -- I guess you can't have everything. Great nursery for everything else though with a very knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend them.
