I've recently seen a few eldos on ebay lately, but I have not been happy with my purchases from there so I will stay on the face to face quest.

Again, beautifully grown orchids!!

I knew eldorado was not much grown in the USA, but I didn't know it was that difficult to get one... surprising!
Hope you can find it soon!
Good luck!

This is a beautiful species. So lovely.

I almost ordered some from Bela Vista for Redlands 2011, but chickened out. Sounds like I would be able to provide pretty good growing conditions for them.

I will definitely put them on top of my order list for Redlands 2012.

thank you mauro and eyebabe.
