I can't resist an orchid or a dare that doesn't involve losing a limb, so I googled the Bartholina. Amazing orchid, but I can't find a mention of what universe it comes from?

I'll know by end of June, maybe sooner, if my search for the Madagascar leonis has paid off. Signs point to yes, but I've learned with this one not to count my orchids before they hatch. I may also have landed an Angcm. dollii, a species I only recently became aware of, but was instantly smitten by. Google that, if you dare

Madagascar...I vaguely remember a vendor going or getting Madagascar specific plants...Check with Louisiana Orchid Connection

Dead on, Anonymouse. He had a dollii for sale a while back, direct from Madagascar, I think. Thank you for taking time to post a lead!

The problem with Angraecums is that they are so addicting! :|

LOC is going to Redlands this weekend with a bunch of Madagascan plants. No leonis on that list. Dollii is apparently in flask.

Geez, just clicked on that link. While there I saw another orchid I want from someone else and bought that. Don't know anything about the vendor on your link, sorry.
