For those in the Greater Washington Metro Area who make their own orgeat...

Rose Flower Water is somewhat readily available (Food Whole, Magruders...), but Orange Flower Water is elusive. Up until this weekend I was sending away for mine. Now I don't have to. I found it on the shelf of a "gourmet" market in Bethesda (Old Georgetown and Democracy) called Balducci's Food Lover's Market, which is a small chain with stores in MD, DC, VA, CT, and NY.

The one in DC is in NW near AU (New Mexico Ave). They have two in VA (Franklin St–Alexandria and Old Dominion Dr–McLean). I don't know how the stock compares to the Bethesda store, but it's the only place I've found so far that sells Orange Flower Water ($3.99). They also sell Rose Flower Water for the same price.

Same brands as shown below:
