They do say that if you want to order from abroad, give them a call. The shipping might end up being too expensive though.

I just noticed that they changed their website since last time I checked (less than a week ago). They do ship all over Europe now, but the shipping costs are outrageous. To Ireland they charge 28,50€. But if I were to send a package to you, the dutch postal service would charge me 10,20€ or 18,50€, depending if there is track&trace service or not.

The only European vendor that has it (at least that I could find) is Popow for 49.00 EUR (!). A tad expensive I think.

Den. cuthbertsonii is a cool grower, so it wouldn't work for this project anyways.

Can't find it at any of the European vendors. The only one that had it was sold out on this particular orchid.
