Thanks, Silken. There isn't much information or many pics of it on the Internet. One day I will have to purchase Orchid Wiz. Just can't swing it now

There is only one picture in OW, but it has quite green petals with a pink, fairly typical nodosa type lip. Quite a stunning contrast!

I do find OW to be rather expensive, but I use it as much or more than any other program on my computer and keep all my orchids entered in there, including photos of them.

They put a stop on all orchids in July due to the heat 3 of them told me. The others well they never know when they will get some.

Best time to look for these is March to April here in Georgia (maybe similar in Texas?); start checking with them around March 1. You want to see what they have right after they get them (while plants are strong; not picked over or stressed). Sometimes they even have good species orchids. I picked up a Chelyorchis ampliatus this spring that has grown well and now appears like it may bloom next growing season. I have also picked up a Maxillaria tenuifolia as a bag baby.

Yea, I got a Max. tenuifolia, and a Den. aggregatum as well. And of course, B. Little Stars, and Bc. Yellow Bird who could resist for $5?

I'll have to see if they carry them here in Oregon. Although I rather doubt they'd have Masd., Drac. or Restrepia....
