Harlequin Phalaenopsis... a wild goose chase?

[Just_A_Beginner]

Hello, I'm quite new to orchids, please don't bite my head off...

I've been scouring search engines for hours after seeing these wonderful Harlequins on US sites, but so far my efforts have proved fruitless as far as finding these orchids closer to home is concerned.

So would any of you orchid buffs be able to point me in the direction of a UK based source for a plum-blotched white/cream harlequin phalaenopsis? So far the varieties I've seen that I'm very keen on (presuming I've got the names right!) are Golden Peoker, Taiwan Glory, Ever-spring Fairy 'Snow Princess',... I'm sure you get the jist.

I think these are wonderful even from the photographs I've seen and can only imagine what one of these would look like in the flesh, and the variability between flowers is an exciting prospect. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

My favorite is anything with Golden Poeker...they are absolutely beautiful and I just purchased one recently from Zephyrus Orchids here in Canada. I also have an Ever Spring Light that has some really cool dark purple blotching. Good luck with your quest!

I have a sister in Putney (London). Not sure where you live exactly so I can't pick out the closest location for you.

Go under the search engine, Google....then type in
'Harlequin Phalaenopsis England' and you will find several places.
