I want to buy orchids
Hello! I'm going to visit Wonder Island in January. In the descriptions I see that there are a lot of orchids. Is it possible to buy them, transport them? Has anyone experienced this?

In Bangkok (Thailand), orchids in pots were sold at the airport duty free. They were transported in hand luggage without any problems.

how about the price? does it make sense to buy there?

Orchids can be bought from the Royal Botanical Garden in Peradeniya, where there is an Orchid Pavilion, or from plant nurseries. However, according to the law, in order to import plants, fruits and seeds into Ukraine, you must have an import permit (confirmation that this material is not a source of plant diseases).
So it is worth consulting in advance with the relevant department (State Plant Quarantine Service of Ukraine).

I bought orchids in Thailand at a price of 30 (young without flowers) to 1000 baht. Beauty, but in our conditions they are not adapted to survive. Moved without problems in hand luggage.

Thanks for the info!
Sire, all the orchids that are brought to us grow in hot countries, it makes no sense to grow them here for sale, it’s easier to bring them, they cost a penny there) My aunt has so many of them ... and everyone survives)
In general, as I understand it, if I want orchids, I have to go to Thailand :)

Indeed, in the Botanical Garden there are very beautiful Orichids.

In Sri Lanka, in the natural conditions of tropical rainforests, rare orchids grow with medium-sized yellow flowers collected in a flowering branch. Due to the shape of the flowers, reminiscent of the dancer's stance in the famous ancient dance "Wes", this species is called "Kandyan dancers". Perhaps they should be bought at a nursery along the way or at the Royal Botanic Gardens. Just let the guide know about your desire in advance.
P.S. More about the Botanical Garden in Peradeniya, collections and types of plants - in my article HIS MAJESTY GARDEN for review-catalogue LANDSCAPE.DESIGN for 2012, link to the electronic (shortened) version of the article:

In pursuit of the previous information about beautifully blooming orchids from Sri Lanka, the species
botanical name - Russian: 'Oncidium sinuous',
English: figurative 'kandyan dancer orchid' (Kandyan dancer orchid),
Latin: Oncidium flexuosum'.
