I needed lei for a celebration of life for friends. James was wonderful to work with, provided exactly what I wanted and....was so sensitive to the situation! Offering sage advice, comforting words in my grief and, greatly helped me provide beauty to such a sad occasion. I called him from my home in Hawaii to ask about Gulf Orchids lei. After our conversation, I knew I needn't worry about trying to carry lei with me, he would provide exactly what I needed and at a great price! When I arrived to pick up the lei, he had the most beautiful selection of orchids and gift items as well. I couldn't resist...I bought an orchid as a thank you for a friend of mine along with soaps from a local soap maker. I highly recommend James and Gulf Orchids! read more

Just discovered this place when my boyfriend brought me here for Fall Fest. I've driven down 22nd Ave S/Gulfport Blvd many times and never thought to stop in before. I'm glad we did! Mr. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Ms. Eagle showed us excellent customer service. I bought a terracotta pot and will be bringing my orchid back to have it repotted. They have a great selection of plants and pots both inside and outside at great prices. read more

This place is great. They made a couple fresh leis and were reasonably priced. Owners were very friendly and helpful!

Beautiful orchids and great customer service! I was invited to a new friend's place tomorrow for the first time, and had the usual dilemma of what to bring, so I figured I would try a local florist and grab a nice plant or floral arrangement. This place had really good Yelp reviews and pictures of beautiful Orchids, so I figured I would give it a shot. I called and the gentleman on the phone was very friendly and helpful. He said there were some Orchids he could make into a gift for around $38. The indoor/outdoor store was cute with lots of Thai art and tchotchkes for sale. The orchids were all gorgeous and quite tall. Really good for housewarming or just because gifts. We found a nice pot and added a little card (several options available). All in all cost just under $38. Honestly, I was nervous about gifting such a tall plant but it was really pretty, so I did anyway. I even considered keeping her for myself but she is a little tall for my apartment, so she will just be visiting with me until she goes to her forever home tomorrow. read more

Pandy was a miracle worker. I was at my wits end trying to get orchids leis and bridal bouquet for my sons wedding. I contacted shops in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami and Orlando to no avail. Pandy came thru with flying colors and even threw in a box of beautifully multi dyed blue orchids to match the bridal bouquet read more

Fairly last minute, we decided we wanted a few florals for our wedding and another vendor recommended Thai Orchid and Leis. We could not be happier that they did! We were looking for two arrangements for the end of the aisle, a few boutonnieres and corsages, and some loose blooms for my bouquet and the tables. From the moment I met Pandy, the owner, I felt immediately calm, happy, and understood. She took the time to listen to and play with my ideas, invited me to come into the store, and was so communicative throughout the process. She was honest and transparent about which flowers would and wouldn't last, and which ones were the most affordable for our budget. It's clear she cares about her customers, is passionate about her work, and she is honestly one of the kindest humans I've ever worked with. Her team and her husband are just as kind and wonderful. One thing they offer is loose bloom orchids, which we had placed at every place setting for the guests. They were a fantastic, elegant, colorful, and affordable alternative to floral centerpieces, and many of our guests ended up with them in their hair, hats, and even beards! Pandy also designed 3 orchid hair pieces for my hair that I got so many compliments on. Beyond their customer service, their shop has such a soothing vibe with a beautiful outdoor garden. My parents bought a few things for their home while we were there, all of which they love, my mom has gone back for more. We'll definitely be going back whenever we want to purchase orchids, bamboo, or other beautiful flowers they carry. We'd highly recommend them for event florals, a relaxing visit to their shop, and beyond! read more

I stumbled upon this store on FB, and I had to go. What caught my eye was their orchids, and the fact that they make leis. I wanted a lei for a luau I was going to. I first walked into their back where they had so many orchids. They were so pretty and vibrant. Afterwards walking through their store, they have a lot of different Thai and Asian decor for the home, detailed furniture, and gifts. I spoke with a man working there and asked about the orchid leis. He said he can make them in about ten minutes. They have single and double orchid leis starting around $17 and they also have ones for your head. They were quite pretty from what I saw. I have no idea of any other place that makes them, but I will sure be back. I'd be so happy to buy one. He also does parties, weddings etc. and can make a bunch for less expensive. read more

Beautiful leis for our event. So happy with what Sheryl did for us. We're lucky to have them nearby. A magical place!

We were driving by when I happened to notice the enticing store front. I made my husband turn around so we could go back to go inside. Lots of beautiful & healthy Asian-inspired plants and flowers in all price ranges. We were encouraged to walk around the outdoor gardens which include a water feature, statues, hanging and potted plants--all very healthy and reasonably priced. Very beautiful and serene nursery/florist. Friendly, knowledgeable, and generous staff. read more

This florist was fabulous for Hawaiian leis that we bought for University of Tampa boys to wear at graduation as a symbol of good luck! The orchids were absolutely beautiful and the people were wonderful... Order a few weeks ahead if you decide to do this for your graduate or if you decide to do this for any other occasion I highly recommend them! read more

Loved the lei I purchased for a birthday party! Just lovely She let me decide what style and orchid type I wanted in the design. Tres cool read more

This is a wonderful place for anyone interested in orchids. It is a particularly good source for anyone wanting to maintain a gift orchid. Pete is always helpful, even to the point of lending a hand. He is a pro on care and growth of orchids of all varieties. The shop routinely receives shipments; the selection changes, so each time one visits there are new plants for purchase. One particularly nice thing about their selection is that, in addition to the more common phalaenopsis, or moth orchid, they usually have lesser known varieties plus even a few rare and/or exotic varieties. If you like orchids, stop by and see Pete. I am positive you will be glad you did. read more

This small Orchid shop is owned by a Thai couple. They were very nice when I called ahead for an urgent order of leis for a graduation. The couples welcomed me in with open arms like I was a very close family member. The shop was filled with beautiful Thai decorations. The lady owner even offered me to walk around her Orchid gardens and showed me the Orchids she specially ordered from Hawaii and Thailand. The leis I purchased was from Thailand and they were $20. There are different prices for leis. I told her the leis is not for myself but for a graduation. She was delighted to give me a couple of Orchids to keep for myself. It was very nice of her. read more
