I re-sent my email to J&L, still haven't received a response from them

I also sent the email to Carter & Holmes and to Santa Barbara Orchid Estate.

Can you guys suggest anybody else you think might have a big enough inventory to help us?

We used Parkside once before and the plants were FANTASTIC...but the shipping/handling charges were just out of control! I wouldn't use them for the project but I would recommend them for anybody looking for a nice healthy plant...but order more than 2 to make use of the extra charges

I'll add your name to the list.

Ya, I remember the shipping being pretty hefty at Parkside. Doesn't SBOE have to quarentine plants before shipping to FL? Seems like there is some odd thing they have to do. Their plants tend to be more expensive too.

I wasn't aware of that

We'll see what they have to say, if they answer the email

I'm just trying to get us a larger selection to choose from

Hello Sue and everybody else !!!! Sorry I haven't been able to make it to either one of the two chats and you all know how much I love them. I have had to work so therefore, no chat for me. However other than Cochleanthes discolor and Leptotes bicolor I like all of the other plants. So Sue if you want to the rest of the plants being considered get my vote.

Roly0217 · #**127** 03-20-2009, 06:20 PM

Sue SBOE does have a 1 month quarentine period before shipping to Florida, so if we are going to use it we are going to have to wait an extra month for our chids. Maybe they can do an exception with this being a project but who knows.

well, now it is known as Cattleya lundii... they don't want to stop it.. first all southamerican Laelias went to Sophronitis, and now all sophronitis went inti Cattleya.... LOL

I think this is becoming a good joke!!

Aerangis punctata is available in USA at Orchidweb...

Hi Sue,
The Haraella retrocalla aka Haraella odorata is available in the US, CA, and EU. Did it not make the list due to quantity availability?
