If you want Dens, I'll dig up the ones I had proposed/thought of in past projects and check availability. I think Den tetragonum was one of them.
How about some Angraecoids too?

The plants (and this is explaind in the website - in German) are not mounted and you would receive only a bunch of roots needing to be mounted. Nothing quite difficult, but you would need very high relative humidity in the air to avoid the plant drying out too much. My plant took almost one year to get fixed on a piece of good, and it was in my orchidarium all the time (warm and very humid!)

Thank you for the help! I guess I should have tried using Google Translator but I was in a hurry!

Do ALL their mounted plants arrive barerooted? I have a hard time as it is getting established mounts to adjust to life on a windowsill, so I'd probably kill everything if they need to be established too.

No Camille, normally their plants are either potted or mounted. For some particular plants they indicate whether new import, or need tobe rooted, or as in the case of Chiloschista or other ghost orchids that they are not mounted.
Schwerter is a very good source for plants, and if you have a problem with the plant received, they are always willing to help and/or replace the plant (actually, to send another plant, as they normally let you keep the one already received - this has happened twice to me already: one plant was younger than expected and the other was damaged during the transport)

Maybe it would be better if I made Chiloschista viridiflava my tc instead of putting it up on the list since it is so high maintenance!
