I have received orchids from "Orchidsbyeli" a Renanthera and a Grammatophyllum....there is also one seller called 'Orchids PR' who mailed me a long stem terette vanda around 4 ft....and the mailing is perfect. It arrived from PR 3 days by US postal mail. No hitch or problems at all.

I have received two Puerto Rican native orchids and I don't know if it was 'poached' in situ or grown ....as long as it is not in the endangered list then it is fine by me.

No I'm not a poacher, my sister and her husband have a couple hundred acres of dairy farm that they are expanding so I saved a couple orchids from their land. Andy's orchids sell's some of the psychilis species that grow here. I have pschillis krugii, but I already promised divisions to other people, maybe next season.

I grow the Bletia in a shallow clay pot. 75% coral rock (limestone) 25% promix. It can take full sun or patial shade.

Other of orchids fro PR are pretty easy to find ex.
Encyclia cochleata, epi ciliare, Epi nocturnum, Onc sphacelatum, Onc. altissima. There are a lot that no one really offers for sale either not even over here.

Hi Eskevingo!

Yes I would be interested in the B. patula division! I will PM you, and I appreciate the cultural tips.

I do some work in Puerto Rico from time to time. Just curious, is your sister & brother-in-law's dairy in the Garrochales-Arecibo area? I know there are a lot in that area, and I have done some work for one of those dairies in the past. In fact, that dairy had some very healthy Vandas growing outside the office.

I'll be in touch. Thanks again!

Actually the next town over. They live in Hatillo, this area (Arecibo, Hatillo, Utuado) seem to be the epicenter of their distribution. If you drive on rt129 you can se a lot on the roadside too. I like to keep divisions for a month b4 I send them out, make sure its OK. TTYL
