What Types of Orchids Does Odom's Orchids Sell?

Odom's Orchids sells a range of orchid genera, with a particular specialty in cattleyas. According to the site's own description, the catalog covers Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Dendrobium, Vanda, and more, and the nursery identifies itself as specializing in cattleya orchids. If you are looking for a cattleya in particular, this is the strongest part of their offering; if you want other common genera, they appear to be available as well, but the cattleya focus is what the grower emphasizes.

The main genera listed

The site names these groups when describing what it sells:

• Phalaenopsis — the common "moth orchid," typically the easiest for beginners.
• Cattleya — the nursery's stated specialty, and the genus that dominates its featured and popular listings.
• Dendrobium — a large, varied genus with many different growth habits.
• Vanda — often grown for large, long-lasting flowers, frequently in baskets or bare-root.
• "and more" — the site does not enumerate every genus on the page, so treat the list as representative rather than complete.

Cattleyas are the specialty

The about section states that the family specializes in cattleya orchids, and this shows up in the product listings. Among the "Most Popular Products" shown on the home page, most are cattleyas or cattleya hybrids, for example:

Note that "Blc." and "Pot." are cattleya alliance abbreviations, so those entries are cattleyas even though the genus name isn't spelled out. Prices are as shown on the page and can change.

Species and miscellaneous orchids

Beyond the mass-market genera, the shop also lists species orchids and a miscellaneous category. The home page shows Cattleya schroederae under Species and Cyrtopodium punctatum under Miscellaneous, both at $50–$75 in the listings shown. So if you are after something less common than a standard Phalaenopsis, there is at least some species and oddball inventory — but the depth of that selection isn't documented on the page, so check the live catalog for current availability.

Buying formats worth knowing

The page highlights a few ways orchids are sold, which affects what you actually receive:

• Orchid Deal of the Month — a rotating pick chosen to bloom within the next few months, so you don't wait long for flowers.
• Cattleya Orchid in Bud — sold already in bud, meaning flowers are close.
• Gift orchids — if you don't want to choose, the nursery will pick one for the recipient.
• E-gift cards — for occasions when you'd rather let the recipient choose.

Practical notes before you order

• Shipping is temperature-dependent. The site states it ships only when low temperatures are above freezing, and it frames fall as a good shipping window — after summer heat and before winter cold. Plan around that if you're ordering in a cold climate.
• Bloom timing varies. The Deal of the Month is selected to bloom within a few months; other plants may not be in bud or bloom when shipped unless the listing says so.
• Prices and availability change. The figures above come from the home page at the time it was captured; confirm current price and stock on the product page.

If your goal is a cattleya or a cattleya-alliance hybrid, Odom's Orchids is clearly oriented toward that. If you want a specific non-cattleya genus or a named species, the site indicates it carries them, but you should verify the exact plant is in stock before relying on it.
