Orange flower water?

Where is a good source for orange flower water, preferably in Northern VA? Thanks.

    as another poster mentionned, there is some to be found at the Mediterranean Bakery in the Home Depot complex (Trade Center Post Office Shopping Center). Not sure what Del Mar is, but it is actually in the Landmark area of Alexandria, off Duke, on S. Pickett Street.

      Lebanese Taverna market in Arlington carries orange blossom water (and rose blossom water too.)

        Is this the place over near (that is, perpendicular to) Arrowine?

        You can find orange blossome water and rose water as well as other items at 3 places I know of in No. VA:

        1) Mediterranean Bakery in Alexandria in the same complex as the Home Depot over, I think, in Del Mar.

        2) Al Nakheel in Vienna in the Jade shopping center on Maple Ave. near the Amphora diner

        3) Ali Baba bakery on Mill Street in Vienna

        I'm Lebanese so I'm pretty familiar with the various suppliers in the area.
