ISO Stanhopea tigrina 'Glory of Mexico'
Does anyone know where I could go to find one for sale or does anyone here maybe have divisions they'd be willing to sell? Not having very much luck finding one.

First, Welcome!
Searching for a particular cultivar can be very frustrating, often impossible. Since the culivar name means "This particular plant" or genetically identical ones, unless the plant was cloned only divisions can carry the cultivar name. So this culitvar likely exists only in a few private collections if it still exists at all. (It was awarded in 1986, so the odds are against you. 38 years is a long time...) Maybe consider a different cultivar of the species? |
I’ve been looking around for Stan’s in general and happen to see SVO has a couple hybrids using glory in the breeding, as well as a tigrina peloric selfing. Not exactly what you’re looking for but as Robert noted it may be hard to find so perhaps these would scratch the itch.

I just liked how the red on the flowers weren't so dark. A lot of the S. tigrinas I was coming across the red on the flowers looked almost black. I just thought it looked nice having the brighter red on the cream background. Thanks for the input. I'll just have to settle for something else.

I have a small Stan. tigrina that I got from Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, not named (I think it was one of their $7.50 open-house specials) that is very red (not purple like most) You might contact them, telling them what you want in the way of color, they may have some since it was no doubt a batch of seedlings) (My plant is still too small to divide)
