Not in great shape but I got one (Madagascar variety) nonetheless. Hopefully the root system will recover and be happy!

It's a little hard to take that you have unicorns, sasquatch AND a Madagascar leonis. You ought to send at least one of them to me.

You can have the unicorn I'm not much of a horse person, as for the angraecum? I'll send you the photo when/if it blooms!

I would love to find a replacement for two orchids, lost to late fuel deliveries in winter:

Ascocenda My Michele

and SLC Maricana

Chloraea anything, particularly alpina, grandiflora, and membranacea.

Phalaenopsis equestris 'fairy tales', this one is hard to find

RandomGemini · #6 03-03-2015, 01:15 AM

Probably silly, but I can't seem to find Phal. Sogo Vivien. I'm looking specifically for the variegated one. Every time I find a vendor with one, they sell out before I can click the buy button. It's common enough, but I seem to have no luck getting my hands on one.

Silken is right Ecuagenera has the Masdies and they will be in the US several times this year. You can do a pre-order and they will ship it out to you when they arrive for the show. Visit their website for a list of shows and ordering deadline info as well as the list of available plants. They have a LOT of masdies!
Ferias 2015 -

All things Angraecoid - check out Botanica LTD first. I don't think they have the punctata right now but I'm sure they'll get it in again.

Too funny!

You might also want to contact Brenda at Botanica...she might be able to help you find the one you want.

Good recommendation. I've talked to Brenda a few times, but it may be time to try again. I've talked to vendors coast to coast over the last 4 years and even in the UK and Germany. (UK vendor had them, but couldn't ship to the US.)

The ever elusive orchid...makes you want it even more.

Have you ever heard of Windswept in Time Orchids? Edgar and Kim Stehli...up around Cleveland, Ohio. He grows and sells a number of Angraecoids....not to mention a lot of other really cool orchids. I wouldn't be surprised if he had one. They don't have an ordering website but you can call him - (440)-838-5757.
