Anyone know anything about Coelogyne Ochracea? I read that this one likes cool winter temps, so unless someone says otherwise, it's off the list.

We still have to find another US grower for Encyclia vitellina. Orchids of Los Osos only has 2 inch pots for $15. I don't think that would be big enough to be blooming size. They have 3 inch pots for $50. SBOE has it starting at $35.

You could try Orchids limited (Orchidweb) as they have had them before

[Call_Me_Bob]

orchids limited has them for $75... too much.

im gong to email los osos about the maturity of the 2"

Bob, they might have smaller, non in-spike ones for less. Maybe not though.

Every time I look on Orchids Limited for plants the prices are always way too much.

When you carry really good examples of various crosses, you have to pay up for them. The price may not be pleasant, but I haven't been disappointed in a bloom yet. They are darker, fuller, and more fragrant than other crosses or clones in my opinion. Just my

The one time I ordered from Orchids Limited both plants arrived with all rotten roots and they had fallen all the way out of the pots. They were not any special clone either. And they weren't cheap. Since then I haven't ordered from them. That's just been my experience.

Right, I updated the list with all the info from the last 24 hours. We now have 10 suitable plants! Although there's still a question mark for the Encyclia, until we sort out the US grower.
