Renanthera storei - source - Orchid Board

Uechi · #1 09-14-2008, 03:40 PM

I need some help from forum members to provide a source for species Renanthera storei. Our orchid club recently was privileged to have Martin Motes give a presentation on intergenetic breeding. It appears that Renanthera will cross with a number of species that I didn't expect like Phalaenopsis. It would be educational and interesting to explore the opportunities ,but I can't find a source. Thanks in advance

Try Santa Barbara Orchid Estate.....they used to have them listed. It says call for a price now.

Sent an e-mail request and never got any answer. This is about the tenth time I have sent requests to them for pricing and availability with no response. Either there not interested in business or nobody reads the e-mail. With such a poor response I'm not sure I'd buy them them.

Yeah, if you really want one try calling, if not don't bother. They're aweful with emails.
