You have no idea how happy I am to hear these two are good in vivs. They are numbers one (Aerangis fastuosa) and two (Angraecum didieri) on my list of must have orchids.

Try the scaphosepalum digitale ( you can see mine in the orchid in bloom threat) is like a scarab.... is beauty!!!
And the Sigmatostalix Marinii it looks like a group of wasps....
The two are little plants and species...

yeah, i checked out those scaph's. a while back, i think that is a really neat genus of orchids, that i'll be looking for vendors this next spring.

Try Ecuagenera - We are where beauty resides in life: in the simplicity of an orchid. they have this species...

that sites going to take forever to look through, but thanks, cause i love extinsive lists, with LOADS of pictures, it makes it alot better than looking through google.* So do you work for them, cause i would already LOVE to buy some from them, but im in america, and im sure there is the CITES and all those certificates i would have to get, but i'll check that later, more about looking at all the cool flowers right now.* Thanks, aaron

No, I didn't work for them, but they have the largest collection and nursery from my country. I bought them many of my orchids. I don't know how does it works in your country, but they export this species to all the world.
Try and make your sellection, you can see the value in your shoping car... Good luck!!!

Lots of folks here order stuff from them. I think are pretty highly rated. Check under vendors.

I suppose that you envisaged a good air movement. The humidity must not be stagnant.

CITES would kick my butt.* But maybe that i got a new job, hopefully i can save up a nice chunka change, and get a nice collection from them.* Im not to scared about carring for orchids now, because i finally got one of the 3 i have to bloom.* I think its just time for it to do it actually.* But they will go in a nicely built home, that will be done long before i even plan on ordering from them if i do, which will be around spring.

Intruder - I do plan on having good air movement, as it is a main concern for my viewing pleasure (i have to have air constantly moving over all viewing pains of glass to keep condensation from building.)* Im thinking about having a vented area on the glass top, but not sure where,* I may even try and may a cool fan system.* The type in greenhouses where there is a cardboard sheet that has cool water dripping down the whole time, with a fan behind it to cool it down.* I dont know if i could make a compact enough one, but will start planning to see if i can.*

Im really good with comming up with solutions to differnet problems, and good with my hands, so we'll see what i come up with, and of course, i cant go without showing you guys my progress, so expect some pictures around christmas time, and i'll have an up-to-date picture of my paludarium.* Plus my blooming Bulb. frostii

Hi:

You don't have to mess with Cites to order from Ecuagenera. The Portillas come to shows in the US frequently (and many other countries around the world). They will deliver to a show nearby or even send the plants you pre order when they are in the country. You check their list of shows on their website and see when the last date is to preorder for a particular show and put your order in before that date. Then when they are at the show they deliver or ship to you. You might have to wait a few months, but it is a surer way than international shipping and no hassling with the CITES paperwork.
