They seem to have a great choice of rupicolous here: http://www.orchideen.com/offer.htm
same store, different page:
Online-Shop

Okay, I must be blind because I can't find it on any of those pages... Help please? I believe you but it bothers me that I can't find it! It shouldn't be that hard should it? :(( Stupid eyes that refuse to cooperate with me...

s.kallima 03-15-2012 01:31 PM

here are some compact rupicolous species (various colors from reddish to yellow)
Laelia lucasiana

Laelia liliputana
Laelia reginae
Laelia ghillanyi

Laelia fournieri

Laelia briegeri


prices vary but are usually between 15 and 35 dollars (or euros) in all countries listed
Andy's has a good selection of them
Hawaiian Botanical has all of them (I think)
Orchideen has most of them (to be confirmed if someone email them?)

It is available from J & L Orchids in USA and Ecuagenera.
Both companies are coming to Canada in April.
Not sure about Europe.

Found it at Popows for 10.79 EUR. It's available in Europe in other words. :)

The last link was pointing to the home page, them you have to search for laelia in the search field.
(see the list of species I put in my previous post)

Thank you. I think it's the fact that rupicolous wasn't part of any of the names that got me completely confused. I thought it had to be there for it to be the "proper" plant. Now I know better, thank you for enlightening this newbie a bit. :biggrin:

sorry about the confusion!
rupicolous refers to the growing habit of those species, which means living among rocks.
