Source for Neofinetia falcata
Another orchid I would like to find in Florida but would be happy just to find one in bloom. Any help from the more experienced lovers of orchids would be greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.
I have been specifically targeting very fragrant orchids and not doing too well in my choices. |
I have two, one from Andy's Orchids in California which is mounted on a cedar plaque Andy's Orchids - Orchids Species - Orchids - Species Specialist - Orchids on a stick. Normally I promote orchids from Andy's, but mine came to me infested with Shore Flies which are relatively harmless but spread fast. They only eat diatoms and algae, but are a pain and not easy to eradicate. The second plant came from Hoosier Orchids - my all-time favorite spot to buy orchids. It is potted in coarse bark and doing very well.

New World Orchids have many neos - New World Orchids Neofinetia falcata
Unfortunate for you, they are in Michigan I am going to post a link here from orchidwire.com that will give you orchid resources for Florida - OrchidWire - Orchid Vendors in Florida Hopefully this will assist you in your findings outside of the other member's connections :) |

Hi Uechi, I purchased a neofinitia falcata last year from Orchids by Hausermann. It bloomed the same year and is growing nicely. I highly recommend them. I live in NYS and the plants arrived in the cold months healthy. I can only imagine the success you will have.
If you are looking for a fragrant orchid, have you tried oncidium "Sharry Baby"? It is highly fragrant like chocolate and is fairly easy to grow. |
Fragrant orchids that I own -
Iwangara Apple Blossom - highly recommended .. but can become a large plant Phalaenopsis bellina or violacea .. there are many hybrids/crosses of theirs that produce aroma .. medium sized plant I find them both easy to grow for my conditions .. indoor, windowsill of the Northeast :) :goodluck: |
You can use these custom search engines to look for a specific plant:
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...-searches.html Click on either of the US search engines, type in the name of the plant you're looking for and the engine will search through dozens of US vendors...really a great tool :clap: |
Thanks again everyone for your prompt respones and you important inputs. To Moogiemama, yes I have two Oncidium Sherry Baby's in bloom. They are wonderful. I like them so much I purchased one on line to send to my daugher-in-law in South Carolina.
