Check with the vendors that have schomburkias (now laelia) or Myrmecophila they might be able to help you get one. Hope you find one. You'll become a Schombo Lover!

Thank you Lorraine.
I have limited space, so I try to only buy plants that flower often. But I do love that one.

Here is one that blooms on just about every new growth. Stlma Kelly 'Lea' You will love it. Nice size flowers and 2/3/4 to each spike. Loves a sunny location. The color is really much brighter than this pic.

I do love it! It's unfortunate that Canadians don't have the selection of orchids that they do in the States. I'm not prepared to pay the fees to import for only one or 2 orchids. The show I'm going to is quite small, but I'm sure there will be something I like. There always is!
