Jewel orchid availability in the US

[blg47218]

I once had quite a collection of goodyeras, Ludisias, Anoectochilus, and Dossinias. After an unfortunate "I forgot to water your orchids while you were away" accident, I have slowly been trying to rebuild my collection. I am having a hard time finding even some of the, what I should think to be, easier to obtain species. I have been able to obtain Goodyera schlectendaliana, hispida,and velutina, Anoectochilus reinwardtii, Dossinia marmorata , a few Ludisia varieties and hybrids, and Macodes petola Does anyone know of good sources of jewels in the US? That has them in stock? I have found a few sites, but everything is always sold out. Is it that people just are not interested in them so nobody is producing them, or are they just very popular. I am particularly interested in Macodes sanderiana, Goodyera pusilla, Anoectochilus albolineatus, A formosanus, A chapensis, geniculatus, brevilabris, and some more unusual species such as Anoectochilus burnmannicus, setaceous and a few others.
Thanks

Logees has Sarcoglottis sceptroides, and at least one Ludisia discolor (which you likely have). Al's Orchid Greenhouse had some but I'm not certain he has them on his website. Good luck rebuilding your collection.

I bought mine from Imperial Exotics, but most of theirs are out of stock now. Maybe this fall they will be available again.

I have a bunch of Macodes petola and Anoectochilus chapaensis. According to people who should know, that is synonymous with A. burmanniacus, but I haven't changed my tags. I'll sell you two and you can change one, then everybody wins! *grin*

I might have some of the others, I'll check tonight. I'm pretty sure I have A. formosanus, but I think the spider mites might have eaten them all pretty good.

you can also go on Ebay and look for auctions....then message the sellers if they have the stuff youre looking for

*littlefrog, pls private message me if you happen to have interesting specimens of any kind to sell or trade

i would love to expand my jewel orchids too, i seem to be having a two fold problem, the same one as the original poster has, in that i just wish i could find someone that has a lot of different kinds and could keep buying them,
and i have the problem if still learning about them, so a list of names with no descriptions or pictures leaves me in the dark, anyone know of a good place to look and learn about jewels? the different types and stuff?

I wasn't really interested in them until I saw the foliage in the sun.....amazing. I got a ludisia discolor from the local Orchid Society and have just split it up. I am definitely a fan now.

I have come across this site, Black Jungle, when looking for exotic plants but have no real knowledge of them except that they seem to have neat stuff. Here is the link to jewel orchids: https://blackjungleterrariumsupply.3...omeSubCat_19_1

Here is a nice site here. Again, I haven't ordered here but it has nice pictures and seems to sell them:

I just got in a few Goodyera pubescens today that I got off of Ebay. He has another listing of them. They came in great condition.

I have some Dossinia marmorata v. Dayii plants available.
