Sedirea subparishii
 

I've had this plant for several years and it languished until I gave it a cold, dry winter rest. This is its first bloom for me.

Very nice. I really like the color, but I'm a sucker for green! Looks like giving it a chill paid off.

Wow! I might like that one better than Sedirea japonica! I'm a sucker for green too. Thanks for sharing!

I'm with Evan, I think I might like it better than Sedirea japonica! What a cutie!

Ditto to what Evan and Becca said. I like it more than Seridea japonica. I keep killing japonica anyways. Will have to look for it.

I've been looking for one of those for a couple years now. nobody seems to have one.

Bummer !!! It really is a beauty.

Lovely !

I bought mine from an orchid show. I think that the original source may have been Dowery Orchids.

Very nice! It seems to be a rare one and I cannot find it in our local nurseries.

unfortunately, Dowery has not been able to import any plants for a while, and it's difficult for any importer to find legal sources for Sedirea subparishii

You're right. I just checked their website and they say that they've not been able to get anything for this Spring's offering. All I see on their website is an image of one.

Last I talked to Dwayne, he indicated he was pretty much getting out of the orchid business to focus on other things like his farm.

You all might check with Louisiana Orchid Connection, they're importing a lot of hard-to-find Taiwanese and Chinese species and if they don't have it they may be able to get it for you. Ooi Leng Sun in Malaysia might be a good place to check, too, I think they come to shows in the US a few times per year.

Great plant, Jay, thanks for showing us this one! TIL there is another beautiful Sedirea species. :D

sounds great, Brett. if you ever have some spare seed, I'd like some.

Hi Kip

Of course I will let you know. I want to see this species more widely cultivated. Luckily 3 plants lived. It just passed Australian Customs at 3 months and are ok. Thats some feat.

Sadly 4 Nothodoritis zhejiangense died.. One lived... I could have cried all day as they cost $80 a plant.

I will send seed to Troy Meyers too.. But lets not count chickens.

I have asked my friend China for seed of both species.

By the way.. PM me.. How goes James?

Not sure you if you still frequent this site but I thought I'd try. I have had my Sedirea subparishii for several years and it has yet to flower. I wondered if you tell me about you "winter rest" that you give yours?
Anything would help.
