Anyone know where I can get a Mini Mark 'Holm'?
 

At the NYBG orchid show last year I saw one and fell in love! I've looked online at a few places and no one has one for sale. I got my hopes up at one place and called them and they said they don't carry them any more and the place they got them from doesn't either. I can't spend too much on it, not sure the range they go for, but when she had them she had them at $39 blooming size, which is fine. Any one know of a GOOD supplier?

Also how is the culture, some say they're pickier then other phals.

I also LOVE these but don't know the names so I can't find them, any ideas?

Also can you recommend a violacea?

I have been looking for one myself, Gardengirl. No luck here either! I think that they are so different and beautiful. I will be staying tuned to this thread to see if anyone has any leads.

Looks like these guys have it. I have no idea if they are a reputable grower or not.

Orchid Catalog - Phalaenopsis Species

Susan is who I talked to. I was going to order from them since they're somewhat "local".

I have heard that Mini Marks are often virused. Peter has a lovely substitute though:

Phal Yaphon Lobspis 'Circle' [LTN178] - $25.00 : Big Leaf Orchids, Fragrant and Novelty Phalaenopsis

Joy that was one in my cart while I was deciding which to buy and Peter said the lip turns white it doesn't stay yellow. I am still thinking about it though. But if the Mini Mark gets viruses often then I probably will avoid it then.

Peter has some fun ones, I'm going to keep checking him out often and see what he comes up with next!

I was bummed when I ordered one for my birthday but got a note from the shop that they're out and the supplier is retired and not selling them anymore. I settled with a P. Fantasy Magic that I picked up from the Orchid Daze in Atlanta just recently, it's adorable!

I've not come across Fantasy Magic, but it made me think of another one. Look out for P. Fantasy Musick if you can't find Mini Mark. It looks like a pink version of Mini Mark. I really want one.

nice!

Anyone know what the three in my first post are? If I can't get Mini Mark I'd LOVE any of those too!!

Sorry can't help you with those. They are lovely and not quite the standard mass-market ones though, so hopefully someone can identify them.
