I would contact H&R, as they might have some that aren't being listed or that will be posted in subsequent lists.

I just happened to come across this one as I was wandering through the greenhouse. There doesn't seem to be a lot of order to the place, and I just saw this one hanging there. I had to go ask if they would sell it to me. The guy at the counter looked at it, thought a while, and said yes and gave me a price. The aurea one I got from Orchid Eros. Again, I just called Ben up and asked if he had one. This was a couple of years ago. Being in Hawaii, I can't order from the Mainland (without a lot of hassle) due to our strict quarantine laws.
