WOW, with all of these great orchids to choose from, I don't know if I really have anything to add! I'll keep thinking.

Oh don't worry, there's plenty more to add, we're only just beginning! I have a list of 4-5 that I'll finish research and post this evening after work.

There are a couple of others that might be helpful but I'm not sure if they have good websites to order from.

Plested Orchids in the UK is good but it might need phone calls to see what they have.

I've also bought from Iven's Orchids in the past but again I'm not sure you can order online.

These still might be worth enquiring from when it gets to buying time incase they are cheaper (Iven's was very cheep when I bought from them at a show).

I love the look of the trichopilia tortilis. Don't know about how easy it is, but it is beautiful.

Hi everyone,
Gee, it's a lot harder than I thought to find plants that are available both sides of the pond (so to speak!)

Anyways, here's one suggestion:
OEONIELLA polystachys

IOSPE:
IOSPE PHOTOS

Oak Hill Gardens - OH $18

Nardotto e Capello Shop - NC 12.50 Euros (Flowering size), 14 Euros (with spike)

It has lovely curly white flowers and, as a bonus, is fragrant

I don't mind allowing it in, but if most people think we should stick to species we can do that.

i personally dont have a problem with it, although it isnt my favorite out of the list so far. so i wouldnt vote for it in the poll, but i certainly wouldnt care if it were on the poll. and if people choose it, ill get that too.
