If you want I can look at putting together a list of Canada growers this evening when I get home? I already got a start on it last night but it got very late. I'm getting old and can't handle the late nights anymore.

Hehe. Whoops, seems I'm a bit too eager, huh? I'll just keep my eyes on this thread and see what you guys decide since I've no experience at all with projects like these, but I'm oh sooo looking forward to it!

OK.... Here's another WTF moment. I was research Phal/Kingidium decumbens/deliciosa. It's a really cute adorable mini Phal, that I got as a bonus plant from a grower. This is what it looks like:

BUT get this, according to KEW, the current accepted name is Phal parishii!! Same on Orchidwiz, the program stubbornly pulls up Phal parishi's page when I search for decumbens.
But clearly these are NOT THE SAME ORCHID!! (parishii = IOSPE PHOTOS)

LOL indeed a WTF moment...

By the way, you understood correctly the sumatranum entry in Kew List

It's got more synonyms than it knows what to do with.

Phalaenopsis deliciosa

I copied everything into the thread with the intention of getting back to these 2 Phals, but as you can tell, I forgot! This thread is just getting too massive to easily go back and check things. I'll search for it now.

Hey, add it to the list. I saw it available in CAN & USA and since you got one as a freebie, it must be available in the EU.

It is listed as Kingigium decumbens at Paramount FS for $26

Parkside in the USA has it for $18

If we could find one or two more USA vendors...
