Incredible scent and color on this one. I love the green tips on the petals. Thanks for looking.

Thank you both. I bought this one from Crystal Star Orchids. I recently put in an order with Peter Lin (Big Leaf Orchids) and got some really nice phals. I'm lucky to be close enough to many quality vendors where I live. What part of Canada are you in WO?

Hi Brenda,
I'm positively envy!
I'm in BC. I once inquired about shipments to BC from the Big Leaf but the reply was that it had to be a bulk order, not a single plant.

A lot of times if you are aware of a grower coming to Canada to speak for one of the societys, you can tag on to that clubs order and order some stuff from the vendor (if from United States). I've heard of them mailing the plants from Toronto if that was where they were speaking for other clients out further west. I like to be a bad influence...you could check the SOOS (Southern Ontario Orchid Society) speakers for the next year or so and see if this might be a possibility or if any of the plants would interest you. Like I said I've been able to order this way through Jason fisher last June and Peter Lin this June. Their August speaker is from Cal-Orchids in California...I may have to order a couple.

Thanks so much for this info, Brenda.
