Oh I know, not blaming Dave if a mistake was made.

To begin with I was trying to help him keep the list straight but then I've not had enough 'quality' time to check everything. I'm trying to sort through the list myself to help make my decision and have 10 windows open just now, so I know just what it's like

No problem anyway, there are a lot of other nice ones on the list so I've got plenty to choose from

If Dendrobium laevifolium get chosen then maybe I'll just have to get a smaller plant.

you shouldnt have to get a smaller plant though! we could just choose a different one

Just a note, that the Laelia Purpurata on Großräschener Orchids is one year to flowering size.

I've already got one of these so I won't be voting for it even though I'll get another if it's chosen (after all there are so many varieties of this one).

Rosie, if concerned by price of Laelia purpurata in continental Europe, here you can get it in UK NBS for 15£

just a comment... why not instead of complaining don't you try to find a solution? I mean, Dave was organizing this project, but I think it is all of us who are making it possible... right?

D. laevifolium at Großräschener Orchids is supposed to be FS (I called them and they confirmed at the phone. It is written "half-grown" plants, because they are not too big)

Laelia purpurata, there are at least 5 other vendors in Europe selling this species:
Orchideen und Orchideenzubehör der Schwerter Orchideenzucht 4 different varieties all FGS
Laelia purpurata 'carnea' FS
Currlin Orchideen - Onlineshop...Orchideenversand direkt ab Gaertnerei 8 different varieties, some of the FS
Cattleya Naturformen 3 3 varieties (2 of them FS)
Elsner Orchideen 4 varieties, 2 of them FS
Catalogue la cour des orchidées, Dracula-Oncidium 3 varieties, 2 of them FS
Someone also complained at some point that Dendrobium moniliformes is not to be found in Europe... well, at least two vendors have it.

just my

I should have said but I had actually searched other sites for both of them, and not found them. Well I did find purpurata elsewhere but that also said young plants'. I didn't just report it here, I searched (sites I knew, and those listed on other thread) THEN mentioned it.

Anyway, I'm really not trying to cause trouble.

I was intending to do this checking before the poll was posted and unfortunately while I've been on OB a lot, the time I've had available has not been in one continuous block (no more than 5 min together... a lot of them, but all broken up) and I just can't do research without sitting down with it for a few hours.

Anyway, I really just wanted those in Europe to be aware that there may be a problem from the listed vendor, in the HOPE someone would find it at one I did not know about.
