I have been looking for quite a while now for Sophronitis brevipedunculata and Sophronitis wittigiana without any success. I am hoping that someone might know of a source that I might check out. Please let me know if you do. Thanks!

Jerry I just did a search and New World Orchids have them both. They are NBS for $50 but seems reasonable to me.

Thanks to both of you. I think I will order from New World even though Miranda is cheaper.

I am so grateful for the help. I think my computer is failing because I have Googled for days and didn't find these sources.

D in this case I'm going to have to desagree with you. I purchased 4 plants from Miranda's and won't be purchasing again. I rather take my business elsewhere. The last one that was still struggling L. grandis just went into the compost pile last week. I have heard good things from New World Orchids especially for the Neo lovers.

Aww Roly .. sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience ...

Thanks for the lead Dorothy. In this case I have the advantage. Miranda's is only about twenty miles from me and I can personally check the plant and who knows what other nice things I might find. I am also interested in rupiculous laelias and it appears that he has some.
