DeaC, how are you growing yours? I want one but have held off, they are suppose to be very difficult.

The 4 I got last yr. from Ooi leng Sun are the appendiculata, phal. schilleriana and bulbo. pleurothallidanthum and bulbo antenniferum.Determined that the way he had them mounted was not good for me or them-seemed to be wrapped in coconut fiber and guess I made the mistake of keeping them that way for about 6 mos. I detangled them carefully(?) and mounted again in sphag. All look much healthier but slow to produce...my goof!

That aaorchids.com looks cool, but I think I'll refrain from ordering something from overseas, the hassle involved with getting a phyto and all that is a bit much.

OLSO goes to some shows. I haven't ordered from them but I think they ship from US shows (like Ecuagenera). I think I will preorder the appendiculata for the big show here next year.

I have picked up some plants from them the last time. I think their mounts (if you can call it that) is for packing/traveling convenience. I found my bulbo did good in it but remounted the others.
