Galeandra batemanii
Hope I'm in the right Alliance here. This is a Galeandria batemanii that I found at a B&B in Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize in September 2016. The manager is an avid gardener and she collected this from the wild. It is growing in a coconut husk inside a plastic pot. It's in partial sun and gets rained on every day. I thought the cornucopia shaped blooms with the 5 upright petals/sepals made it a pretty interesting flower. I would like to find one to buy here in the US if anyone has any tips, please let me know.

Hello and welcome. Very nice galeandra. As to your question, I'd say eBay might be a good bet if you're in a pinch. Otherwise you might try Windy Hill Gardens, I know Marilyn has a few occasionally.

You could always try plantlust.com or have an automatic search setup for ebay. When it shows up, you'll get notified by email.
I don't blame you though for wanting it. It's really nice.
