Edit: While going through there site I realized that their species catalogue is actually the same as orchidspecies.co.uk. Nevermind then....

Yeah, as you have found they are the same people as OrchidSpecies.co.uk. I first found the OrchidSpecies.co.uk link on their website in fact.

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).

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.

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:

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

Huge thanks to Camille for doing a lot of the work in compiling this list. Camille, you did a great job

If someone get's chance it would be helpful if the following plants were researched.

Leptotes tenuis
Capanemia micromera
Maxillaria Madida
Howeara Lava Burst
Den cuthbertsonii
Dendrochilum tenellum
Dendrobium mohlianum
Encyclia cochleata

Something in this sort of format would be really helpful.

If no-one get's chance I'll look them up another night... my head is just getting tired just now

Gastrochilus bellinus - IOSPE
oakhillgardens $18
nardotto €15
