Angraecum didieri turning black. Leaves dropping.

Sorry for your loss, Junebug!
Instead of ordering, you have a major show happening in your back yard in just a few weeks - San Diego Counties Orchid Show March 23-25 at the Scottish Rite Event Center. The website doesn't list the vendors, but the Cal Orchid website lists it as a place they will be, and they usually have this plant for sale (and a lot of other neat little Angrecoids too) And Andy's Orchids will certainly be there. One of Andy's staff members, Katrin, grows in a terrarium (along with other areas) herself and can give you a wealth of information (and they probably will have this species at the show, but if you want to be sure you could email and request it)

I went to the show today (how did I not see your post? dang LOL) but didn't see any angraecum didieri, though there were some other similar species. I'll look again when I go back on Sunday.

Andy's didn't have them there, nor did they have the bulbo I was going to get (grrr lol) but I'm going to go to their open house next month and probably come home with 20 more flowers.

In the future, if there is something specific that you want from Andy's Orchids at a show, send an email a week or so ahead of time and they will bring it- with something like 7000 species, they can't bring everything. (But if you come to the open house, you'll certainly be able to get one assuming it's in stock. )
