hello all how are you guys doing? i hope all is well and your plants are thriving!

I have been wanting to get this plant for some time now and, now im having trouble finding one! i Called Santa Barbara Orchid Estate and they said that i should call someone else to find one because the only ones they have are seedlings and those are 50$ the price is fine but the seedling deal is not lol. If you can, please help me. i greatly appreciate your help. i Checked out orchidweb.com the ones on the site are 100.00,150.00$ i left a messege to see if they have a smaller blooming size plant so, that right now is my only lead. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

There is currently an Angraecum sesquipedele plant for sale on Ebay. The seller's name is Orchids-forever.

Oak Hill Gardens has it, but it's not blooming size. $6, so I assume it may only be a seedling.

Hauserman's also has some for $10, but no mention of the size.

Sam, give Peach State Orchids a call. That's where I got my sesquipedale a number of years ago. It was a blooming size plant and has flowered every year since I bought it. I noticed on their site today that they still carry this species; it's blooming size and $35:

Miscellaneous, Intergenetic Species - Peach State Orchids Catalog - Atlanta, Georgia's place for orchids

Their site's a little annoying (many links don't work, it seems not to be updated all that often, etc.). But they're very easy to deal with if you give them a call. Good luck.
