Eulophias
Ever since reading this last Orchid magazine i have been dying to find some Eulophias to try myself, but they are actually quite tough to find .
So i'm here to ask if anybody has extra peices or backbulbs or anything like that they want to trade i'd love to come to some sort of deal. PM me if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
Ben

there's a couple on ebay right now, and a couple Oeceoclades species, too. Is there any particular Eulophia species you were looking for?
Edit: forgot to mention, you can sometimes find Eulophia petersii and various Oeceoclades species at cactus and succulent vendors.

I love Eulophias and their relatives too. For me they're generally easy growers, though not fast (one or a couple of new growths per season, that's it). They're not common, but I've gotten several species from Oak Hill in the past - don't know if they still have them or not. A couple of other sources are no longer in business (i.e. Hoosier). I'll look at some tags and see if I can come up with other sources.

I actually found some Eupholia bulbs growing in the plantings of the parking lot at a big box store. I saw a long blooming stalk growing out of ixora bushes and realized something was out of place. When I looked at the ground, found the large bulb. It was identified as a Eupholia by a local orchid grower but not sure what variety it is. Here are some photos and maybe someone can identify it.

Since I see you are in Florida, check out images of Eulophia alta and see if that fits your plant. It's become established in your area. I think it's a nice plant but then I'm not worried about it becoming established in the wild here in NW Arkansas!

I looked up some photos on Eulophias and mine looks more like Petersii. I am pretty sure that is what I have. It has seeded and it is starting to pop up in various places in my yard. It is invasive in Florida so will have to keep it in check. But still, it is a nice "orchid invasion" to have.

It is most likely Eulophia graminea.

Some of them are desert/semi-arid desert growers, not all of them.
Eulophia petersii does grow in desert environments.
Eulophia speciosa grows along coastal deserts.
Eulophia graminea and Eulophia andamanensis are tropical grassland plants.
Eulophia clavicornis are semi-arid desert grassland plants.
Different Eulophia species require different growing methods. They are, in general, sturdy plants, for the most part.
