Wow Ramon. I will look for these in the the States and Europe as soon as I can. I've been interested in getting a Ionopsis utriculariodes for awhile now. A Florida native.

Nice to see the french flag by your name Ramon!
And what a very nice list of plants!

I can check for availability in Canada. Dave, is there a reason that Orchids in our Tropics is not listed a a canada vendor on the first page? Are they not good?

Must have overlooked them. I will add it.

Only found 3 in canada... OIOT is Orchids in Our Tropics

Dave, one thing I thought of is that that perhaphs there should be a deadline for joining the project. For now there's no one from Canada, so we've listed quite a few orchids not available there (and we should continue listing those orchids for now). If a canadian joins at the last minute (like the day before the poll for example) we might not have enough plants available in all 3 places to have a decent poll.

Okay, update on the Den. aberrans, US ebay seller Larry's Orchids has it for $14.95 + $8.50 shipping. I don't know much about this seller, but from the description the plants sound BS or NBS and the price is within guidelines... In EU it's available from Popow for 12 euro.

Bulbophyllum ambrosia is available in the US from Carolina Orchids for $20. I have a lot of plants from them and the quality has always been good so far. Carolina also has Den. tetragonum listed for $20 and they say theirs is a miniature type.

I also looked at Carolina for the Dendrochilum wenzelii suggested by Ramon. Unfortunately theirs sells for $25, but they have a lot of other Dendro. species for $20 and under. If selected, could this one be an open 'Dendrochilum species' project to open up the availabilities a little? Might turn out pretty interesting, I have yet to see an ugly Dendrochilum!

For Cattleya (Sophronitis) cernua, Orchideen Lucke has it for 19,90 euro. It's available in the US from Carolina for $15, from Jewell Orchids for $18, and from Botanica Ltd for $20. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a cheaper EU source. I hope this helps!

I noticed that the Den. aggregatum price info was unclear- it is available from Hauserman's for $20.

Dendrobium lindleyi (aggregatum) IOSPE PHOTOS
I can't say enough about this hardy little guy.
Not in Canada, but it's $20 at Hauserman's.
EUR 16.00 at Großräschener- Dendrobium lindleyi - Großräschener Orchids
12.50 here- Nardotto e Capello Shop

We could add Den. jenkinsii as a substitute since they are so similar.


ETA: Orchidsamore.com has the aggregatum for $15.

[Izzie]

The Den. aggregatum is available from Paramount for $28- I didn't include it originally because it was too expensive. http://www.paramountorchids.com/Species1.htm


Andy's has the Den. jenkinsii for $18.
