Check out hawaiianbotanicals.com- they're in Richmond, BC and have Tillandsia and other bromeliad species in spades. Great people, too, and a pleasure to deal with.

Hi Epiphile. Lastnight around 11:00 pm I bumbled onto the Hawaiian Botanicals site. Was on there for over an hour and have ordered 8 tilly's, and a Brom!! It looks like a great site , and their warehouse is only about 20 minutes from where I live.They should arrive in a few days.

Yes I saw that also, Thank you. I was getting worried that I was not going to find anything in Canada. I also found the Zoo Med Habba fogger at Black Jungle and they do ship to Canada, so I am all set! I did notice this morning my clump of babby's tears is covered in white cottony looking mold!! From what I have read on the forum,this is normal? I will be out shopping for a fan today. I noticed most peeps buy those pc fans, but I am no good at the wiring, MUST PLUG IN! So that's another challenge for me today.Other than that I am happy with the out come,and thanks for your support!

drs foster and smith carries already wired fans for those who don't want to wire them. should help. if they won't whip to you (i don't see why not) you could always get the info from their website and do a search that way.

should be in the fish section as i think they're supposed to be for cooling fish tank hoods.

EDIT: whip should read ship... oops

I just went to their website. Tons of stuff.I filled up my shopping cart with a bunch of stuff, 2 off those fans that have plugs!! and a repti fogger. Went to the checkout, and as usual only ships in the US, go figure,happens everytime.I will have to wait now til my next road tpip to the states, I will most likely cross over the boarder for a couple days in November. Will go shopping in Seattle and Portland area so that's probably the only way to get what I am looking for.Hope the mold doesn,t get too outta control by then

they can ship fedex to you... you have to call though so they can do fedex pricing

i would get my cart together and do things like you were checking out online that way you have a list to go by

once you got that down call 1-800-381-7179 and place your order that way

priority should take 2-4 days and economy should take 4-7 days shipping according to shannon

that should help! and you'll get your fans

I did actually look into that way of shipping.Unfortunately the shipping cost for Fedex is usually more than the product ordered, so that's why i opted against. But thanks again for the research, looks like I will just wait a while and do it the "old fashion way"

Final additions to my viv!
I found a very cool tropical nursery here close to my home it is called Hawaiian Botanicals and they carry everything for the serious gardener.
Today I got two Tilly's and a beautiful brom from Hawaii.It's not native to Hawaii,just grown there, However the colors are spectacular. I think that's about all I can add to my viv,with the exception of 4 more tilly's I have special ordered and will be coming in two weeks.
