Expert orchid enthusiasts at Sundance Orchids & Bromeliads bolster bromeliad blooms and more than 1,500 varieties of orchids within seven modern greenhouses spanning 5 acres of landscaped grounds. Gardeners can populate their planters and yards with bromeliad inhabitants ($5+) or hang tillandsia air plants ($4–$25) high out of the reach of conflicted lovers’ bloom-plucking fingers. Fertilizers tend to flower patches ($7.95), and trimming shears ($14.95) will snip any rebellious plants attempting a home takeover.

For delicate, elegant splashes of color for homes or gardens, customers can peruse a selection of live-orchid arrangements ($40–$150). Professional florists arrange exquisite arrays of cattleyas—the corsage orchid—dendrobiums—towering multistemmed plants—phalaenopsis—easy-to-grow, long-blooming orchids—and vanda orchids, which are imported directly from Thailand and Southeast Asia.
