Hi Cindi, welcome to the forum! I'm sorry I don't know much about the topic; maybe the others have had more interactions with vendors that have this hybrid or specialize in slipper orchids. My one piece of advice would be to attend an orchid show if you can because there will be many, many vendors selling all sorts of orchids, and even if you don't snag a Cardinale at the show it's possible that you can find a vendor who can ship one to you after the show. Good luck!
