Source for Vanda Rothschildiana?

[smweaver]

Does anyone know of a source for Vanda Rothschildiana? Or, even better, does anyone on this site have one--even a baby!--that you would be willing to sell or trade for?

This, for me, has been like searching for a unicorn. I see pictures all over the place, and it's in the background of numerous hybrids, but finding one has been impossible so far.

If anyone knows of a source, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!

I believe I remember seeing AM orchids post one on ebay awhile back. He grows primarily vandas; if you email him: sales@amorchids.com, he can let you know if he has one in stock. When I looked at his website for the email address, he has two color forms of Rothschildiana in his photo gallery.

Good luck!

Hi, Nikki. Thank you for your response. He (AMOrchids) already told me that neither plant is available. He was one of the first people I pestered. :-)

Currently I'm in the process of badgering RF Orchids to see if they have one.

Steve, Camp Lot A Noise Tropicals (Clan Orchids) has them listed on their website, although I don't have any experience with them as a vendor.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open and let you know if I find any.

Okay, Owen, I may have mentioned something like that. But this is my Holy Grail!!! I'll just have to sneak it into the house so that I don't get interrogated.

I think my wife has just given up saying "don't you have enough plants already".
