Suppliers of Pleione

Where can you buy Pleione? Below are listed all the suppliers that I am aware of. Except for the first two listed (who have no website), click on the logo to access the website listed. As well as these commercial suppliers many individuals also sell Pleione on sites such as eBay, so it is always worth searching for Pleione on such sites.

I am often asked if I sell Pleione myself. Although I am just a private grower, and not a nursery, I occasionally sell surplus bulbs. I now use eBay to do this. I sell under the user-name "unusual-plants". As well as Pleione, I also sometimes offer winter-growing South African bulbs and other various plants. For much of the year I have nothing to offer, but you can always check here to see if I have any current offerings.
