I highly recommend Wally Orchard of Afrodisa. Nice plants for amazingly cheap price. He is also helpful if you have questions.

Welcome, Johnny. Which species (or hybrid) of Disa are you looking for? I assumed that you are looking for stream-side Disa (like D. uniflora, D. tripetaloides). Wally is one of the major Disa grower/hybridizer, and he has lots of hybrids as well as the stream-side Disa species. I'm interested in only species, so I got D. uniflola, D. tripetaloides, and D. aurata from Wally in spring 2014 (I'm pretty new to Disa). I posted a photo of D. aurata in another forum. D. uniflora flowered, but it didn't make the next tuber. So this summer, I got 6 or 7 additional D. uniflora seedlings (about $10 for a seedling). I haven't figured out how to grow them, and it is pretty challenging for me. Wally has several articles published about Disa culture (I think it's in Orchids magazine).
Tenman's web site if pretty fun to read:
disaculture
This ebook is a good deal:

I'm only interested in species as well and yes, the streamside growing species are the ones I'm looking for specifically. Thanks for the info and who is Wally ?
Beautiful D.aurata by the way.

Sorry, didn't see your post above. I was actually checking that site out the other day but, it hasn't been updated since 2009. Maybe I should just shoot him an email ?

Yep, you just email what you are interested in, and he will get back to you with what he can sell.
