I love it too! It's bloomed twice since I got it this summer. Can't complain about that!

Here's a question though: where does TJ's get their plants?

main source is Matsui and other vendors too

They are both beautiful. I would love to get a Nelly Isler.

The Nelly Isler was actually #1 on my wish list until I spotted it at a show. The original was given to a friend who really wanted it so I had to buy a new one last February and start over. It is wonderfully fragrant, beautiful, and, as desertanimal has discovered, it blooms multiple times a year. I hope you find one.

I have been thinking of getting a nelly isler cause i see a lot of people that out of all their orchids, it is the all time favorite. I haven't seen one myself though. it's just interesting that a lot of people love it so much!

Here is a link to picture (Hausermann's online site). This is where I bought my replacement. I have given these as gifts to a few people and they love them and find them easy to keep alive and bloom.

We have a grower here on the island that has them on his website. It's definitely next on my list!

You will love it.

I love my Nelly Isler!!!! It has three spikes going up now and there are quite a few buds on each. This is my first year blooming it as I bought mine from Hausermanns last year as well. People here @ OB said it was a "must have" and who was I to argue.

Just remember...if I can grow it, anyone can!
