Encyclia plicata - Source
 
I don't know what it is, but every orchid I want to buy I can't find. Please some help in locating a source for Encyclia plicata. It appears lots of Encyclia hybridizers have them, but none will part with a plant. I guess it would be easier if they didn't come from Cuba. HELP.

I found Encyclia plicata alba at Jewel Orchids - Jewell Orchids
at Bergstrom - Bergstrom Orchids Catalog

Encyclia plicata is synonymous to Epidendrum plicatum

Thanks Dorothy for your response. I should have been more informative in my post. I too found the alba form. I am looking for the normal Encyclia plicata. Thanks again.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed someboady has a plant they will sell.

Bergstrom has the non alba form :)

Dorothy, I sent an e-mail to Bergstrom and received a response that the only Encyclia plicata he has, has not bloomed in seven years. He can't even be sure it's a plicata. Obviously his site is not up to date

Sorry to hear that :(
Perhaps, in time, other members will respond :)
