To my amazement, I recently learned that there is a greenhouse in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, almost entirely devoted to orchids: Little Brook Orchids, 25 Rider Avenue, Lancaster. They sell orchids, board them (a totally new idea for me!), and repot them. Here are some of the orchids in their greenhouses:
