Here you go:
Exotic Orchids of Maui: Asctm. ampullaceum 'Mr. Del-Rei' AM/AOS

This is the one I have and it blooms faithfully every year.
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...r-del-rei.html

I have it in a basket with some sphag and it gets misted every day (at least once a day in summer, sometimes two times).

If you've never ordered from Exotic Orchids of Maui before, they have nice plants at nice prices. Pay attention to the description of the plant size. If it's in a 2" pot, it's a seedling and you'll be waiting a long time to see anything...but...

as a first time customer, you can get a 10% discount ($30.00 minimum order) by putting the code MAUIFIRST on your order.

They'll also send a free 2" potted chid!

Awesome!!!!!! I always make a test order to gauge the exact price. so i chose one plant and clicked checkout and it said only a minimum of 50 dollar orders to reduce shipping cost. so i have to get more plants?? if thats the case i would just get 5 but they only have 2 available. what should i do?? do you know of another place i really just cant take alot of plants in i dont wanna over crowd

Sorry...they've changed their minimum to $50 per order.

Did you look through the rest of their site? They have some really nice plants and a $50 order will get you a number of nice ones.
