Cow Horn/ Cigar Orchid

[Subrosa]

Does anyone know of a commercial source for these? I have a friend who's possibly relocating to South Florida who has made it a project to collect all of the orchids native to FL. One of these would make a fine housewarming gift!

If I'm not going wrong, maybe orchideweb has some! I'm a litle jelous :'(

One of the problems with a lot of the ones being sold today is that they aren't the right species but are instead a very similar species. I can't remember what it's called right now though, I'll have to think on it

There are lots of these on ebay. Stephen Moffitt (About Catasetinae.com) often has divisions for sale and I think H&R might occasionally sell them too.

It seems like there are a ton of species which look very similar. I've got saintlegeranium which is very similar and seems pretty common on ebay.
