sorry, I was talking about several sources for Laelia purpurata and D. moniliformes.

One year ago, I could tell you about 4 nurseries with D. laevifolium. However, it seems to be rare now in Europe. I have seen Camille's message and has been checking all the nurseries I know (including those inSwitzerland, where I could get the plants and send to the other members) but it seems that only Grossräschener has this species now really a pitty as this is a fantastic Dendrobium!

I've already got one of these so I won't be voting for it even though I'll get another if it's chosen (after all there are so many varieties of this one).

Rosie, if concerned by price of Laelia purpurata in continental Europe, here you can get it in UK NBS for 15£
Sophronitis purpurata - Detailed item view - For everything you need to grow your orchids

also Maxillaria tenuifolia Maxillaria tenuifolia 'red' - Detailed item view - For everything you need to grow your orchids

Thanks Ramon,

I had looked at Burnham (one of my favorite nursaries I have a lot of their plants) but had only seen the 'young plant' and not that they also have a 'near flowering size', spotted that this time.

Actually I already have the variety here as a 'young plant' (bought from them in June), they also have a carnea but that's also a young plant. Well my existing one is growing fast, so maybe I just go with the one I bought in June and it will be bigger by the time you guys get yours (if that's what is picked) . Thinking about getting the carnea as well though
