Schwerter have just about everything I really want right now, generally cheaper than anywhere else, so it looks like it's them. Except I'm wondering if I'm going a bit nuts, with lots of different types of orchid! Getting hopefully everything I want for a while (except a stripey cornu cervi...) means less postage in the future... but a hit on my bank balance now.
Also the top two plants... the cernua they've got is apparently 6-12 months from flowering size. I'm hoping that's in line with what others are getting really: I guess we are not expecting flowers this year?
My other top plant is Max. picta. Grosbrachenor has it flowering, but with Schwerter having a better list for me otherwise I asked... and Schwerter do have it! Only thing is it's only very young plants in 3cm pots, so will be years to flower. I'm thinking at the prices he's asking though (5.95 euro) I could always keep my eyes open for a bigger one later if I get fed up waiting... picta seems to be variable so maybe having two isn't a bad idea?!?!
I think I have to sleep on it before making my order... lol

I have two cernua plants and they bloom around February so I think a plant that won't be blooming size for 6-12 months will be fine. You probably would be waiting that long for a blooming size plant to bloom anyway. I have never had them bloom more than once a year. I don't know about other people's experience with them though. Maybe someone else who has been growing this species can tell us when their plants bloom and how many times a year.
