From what I have gathered from this board, Tom Ritter in south Orlando is close by and has some nice plants.
Tom Ritter Orchids
(407) 855-8809
3939 Forrestal Ave, Orlando, FL 32806
I've driven to the Apopka area and tried to visit a couple there but it didn't work out well - wrong time of the year maybe.

If you head into Apopka to Rock Springs Road off 441 and you will have a hay day. Closed on Sundays, all of them. Multiple greenhouses 
If I am not mistaken Plymouth Sorrento Road heading toward 46, as well.

The foliage looks much like Paph glaucophyllum or its close cousin Paph moquettianum. Also, the flower is a bit on the small side and could be the hybrid Paph Pinnochio which is glaucophyllum x primulinum.

Hmmm... well now I'm not so sure! The flower is definitely on the small side (maybe 2" across when fully open). From the photos I've researched today, it looks exactly like Paph Glaucophyllum. Do you think that Paph Glaucophyllum or Pinocchio is more common, considering I got it from Home Depot?

psst... the Lowes around the corner has a (Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka' - AM/AOS x Paph Raisin Pie 'Hsinying') x SIB in bloom. Saw it this morning... looks very much like the other one you have thats in bloom (and like the one I already have too so I passed on it).
A Phal. Ever Spring Light 'Lin' did follow me home though...

Probably Paph Pinocchio........They usually move hybrids, not species. |
