Will do. Hopefully it will be that they have them and the plants aren't so expensive that I will need a 2nd mortgage

There are 2 growers here on Oahu that sell them: Kawamoto Orchids has them in 8 in pots for $120 (Seedling Odds & Ends - www.KawamotoOrchids.com) and Wilk Orchids has them in smaller pots (4 or 5 in I think) for $45 (http://www.wilkorchids.com/orchpg2.html). I actually bought one of these guys from Wilk Orchids a few months ago and they look great!! In fact, when I repotted them it turned out there were 2 separate plants in one!! I would call them both and see what they say. I hope these prices are cheap enough!!

I would sure not mind going small to procure such a good orchid and save some moola.

Sure hope you find one . . .those blooms are really unique!

Steve, thanks for the info.
I've made a note of it for future reference.
This is gonna be a crazy chid week and I don't want to kill my husband so I'm gonna hold off on this one...I've waited this long

George from EFG emailed me this morning. " Hi,
we do have peristeria alata. 6" pots are $45.00 and 8" pots are $65.00

sincerly,
George
www.efgorchids.com"

They don't have the capacity on their website to take orders, as of yet. I called him and emailed him the information that he needed. The phone number of EFG is 386-738-8600. It's a Florida number, so keep in mind the time zone stuff. Good growing to all!

I have the info tucked away for safe keeping...have to let hubby recover from this week's orchid spree first

AWESOME!!!

Can you post pics when it arrives?? I would like to see where the development of their plant is compared with mine (mine are still dormant). Great snag, I think they posted that one either today or yesterday.
