Hi Sandy, Do visit the large vegetable and plants market close to the bus station at Funchal. They have a reasonable selection of species and hybrids, but do not expect to see something "local" there, mostly cymbidium hybrids (very popular in Madeira), some tissue culture flasks and some paphs. De not expect cheaper prices because of the Portugese connection, I found orchids there as expensive as in Germany. Regards, Jean
