They had it and its on its way! Thanks so very much. I will put them in my catalog list.

Another resource for locating orchid resources (including vendors) is OrchidWire - Orchid Resource Directory

They list resources by country, and within the United States, they further divide resources by state.

Thank you. Great resource. We have lost so many vendors in Oregon in the last few years, sad to say. Most of my local plants are through my Orchid Society.

If you're looking for the rupiculous Laelias, zchaz from Ebay is your man. He's the rupiculous dude. I've seen Laelia lundii for sale on there quite often.

He has one for auction right now, but I bet you can contact him and he will put up another one for you.

I've never done EBay before. Kind of scary territory for me. I must admit to being an old dog who doesn't take well to new tricks. But I like knowing of someone who sells there that is recommended by you or others. Thanks for that info.

I use this a lot and often find plants I can't find anywhere else. Just type in the name of the orchid you're looking for. Latin names work better.

There's also this custom google search, although the vendors in it haven't been updated for a couple years and it does produce a lot of duplicate results:

Edit: I see Mokeck beat me to it.

So much great information. Thank you all.
