New variation of Aer. houlettiana?

I can't answer your question, but you should know that even if your collection of this plant was fully legal you will likely be told that removing it from the wild was wrong. If the collection is not legal, or if you don't know whether it's legal or not you could be in for a fairly rough time. Just a little heads up.

Hi there,

I appreciated what you remind me. But the situation of my orchid collection is quite tricky while my work is to survey and access loss from illegal logging in my country, so it's required to do field work in the forest. You know that after illegal loggers took all the good part of the tree, the priceless remaining including lots of wild orchids are left to death, so I think my collection is to help them to survive rather than illegally pick them from their own environment - it's better for them and for me.

Well no sane person could fault your intentions in such a case.
