Orchids you regret losing and wish you could have again.

[BrassavolaStars]

Hello all,

Are there any orchids that you had in your collection at one point that didn't make it that you miss especially but cannot locate a replacement?

For me, these plants are Cymbidium Tiger Tail “Talisman Cove”, Trichoplia x Ramonensis, Aeranthes grandiflora “green ice”, Angraecum sesquipedale “Star of Malagasy” x Mount Zion, Kefersteinia aurorae, and Seidenfadenia mitrata. I’ve been searching for these plants ever since I had them but lost them.

The mitrata isn’t too uncommon but it is expensive so I haven’t repurchased it yet, the kefersteinia is only available rarely and would need to be imported. The others seem to not exist anywhere. This is especially true with the cymbidium hybrid in that clone and the Trichopilia. Both of those seem to be extremely rare and I’m not sure I’ll ever find them again.
