Camille I would be very interested in what Sch. have off catalogue if possible? merci d'avance

Sure, I'll let you know! They have a huge amount of orchids that aren't listed online, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have the Soph. Hopefully they will reply tomorrow. But I'll still order from Elsner, they have 2 TCs I really want (Phal stuartiana, which Schwerter is sold out of, and Den Aussie Chip). For the Soph, if both have it then it depends which is cheaper.

Well, as mentioned earlier in the final poll thread, my S. cernua is coming from MSB orchids, and leaving Germany next monday :)
TCs (ok, these were actually pre-ordered and S. cernua is the true TC!):
C. aclandiae (very nice cross)
C. elongata alba & semi-alba :-)
Encyclia bractescens tipo & alba
and tomorrow or saturday, I will know whether Sopronitis alagoensis (very similar to cernua, but a warm grower and smaller as well) will jump in the box as well :-)

I must say that I really admire the rationale that is used when making purchases. I have to pay more attention to your thinking processes! Ah, I have so much to learn. LOL

J&L is closed already!!! Ugh. Oh well, I will order tomorrow morning.

Since getting home I've been so busy looking at different growers websites and chatting on OB that I forgot to eat dinner.... Midnight now, guess I can have my midnight snack!

LOL


Im not getting a TC for the Soph though. I just cant find anything that jumps out at me from J&L.

Getting three other new orchids though so I'll be happy.

ARGHHHHHH.... No one that I've called about having the Soph. has returned my calls yet. I'm dying here!!!! So many orchids to buy and so little time - and I've been dying to own an actual Dracula for years now!!! But which one to buy? I'm also looking at Masdie's, but I will only buy from the vendor who owns a Dracula that might do well for me in my environment and that I actually like - most I"m just not that into, but then again perhaps I just need to buy it and see for myself, LOL...

For some Phal growers, Al's site (: Home & FB Feed) says he has some for sale as well. $22.00 isn't bad, and he's always got some nifty stuff as well.

Good to know, I'll add that to the initial post!
