Last night I compiled all the growers that have the plants into a list, and the next step will be to double check them for size (at least NBS).
Below is what I have come up with.
Podangis dactlyoceras, Dendrobium cucumerinum, Oeoniella polystachys, Leptotes bicolor and Amesiella monticola are pretty much certain to be the final poll. I think Catt aclandiae will stay in as well despite the EU availability issues. The problem is the Hadrolaelias in the USA. SBOE is the main source for them, and I hate to impose one grower on everyone. Melissa found a few at a handful of other growers, but I don’t know if people are satisfied with the options. If you know of other growers which carry one or more of the species for less than $25, let me know!
Then I (or someone else) may need to contact a few growers to check their stock. I'll see this evening which plants may be good to have that info on.
Sorry for being slow to do this.... I'm handing in my PhD thesis in a few months, and my workload is continuously increasing, and yesterday my professor set pretty unrealistic deadlines to get stuff done for one of my manuscripts (which is why I'm here procrastinating rather than working...) And I'm also job hunting (just applied for a job at a Phalaenopsis breeding company!!
)
