It's difficult to find ones available everywhere isn't it.

I can find some in Europe and Canada and others in Europe and the USA but none of the ones I'm looking at in all three.

Are the USA and Canadian sites listed at the top of this threads the only ones we should use for those areas or are there others?

Anyway if nothing else I have some ideas for travelling companions

Orchidegg I would LOVE to do Paph. helenae!!! Do you know of a source in the US? I haven't been able to find it at the usual online places.

Sadly no, but I see Cloud's will ship to the US....

Yes, they will ship to the US...for additional fees and permits.

No can do

WOW - y'all are super fast.

This vendor is super great. They have a nice selection of minis and their service was fantastic.

I ordered 3 plants from them and they were exactly as described in the pictures.

Mountain Orchids, Orchids & Plants for discriminating tastes.

Now i don't think they could handle the full volume but we could use them as an alternate vendor for overflow orders just in case we have to have a couple vendors for USA.

I suggest the Dinema polybulbon aka E. polybulbon to add to the Warm grower list. I'll have more later. I haven't had time to research it.
