I got myself a Cyrtopodium punctatum ("Cowhorn Orchid") just twenty days ago. Then TS Fay dumped 10"+ of rain on us and I didn't notice that my plant was in standing water (not good enough drainage for all the rain) for 4 days. It promptly keeled over. The vendor I bought it from doesn't have any more.
Anyone know where I can purchase another?
I can't live with the idea that I've managed to kill a plant that is native to where I live! I MUST give it another try. Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks Dorothy - I emailed them and it was returned by their listed IP as undeliverable. Makes me leery but I do very much appreciate you efforts. Too late on the plants practical uses though as I threw away the dead stub. No book repairs here
I went down the list of vendors at the Orchid Mall and found one other seller out of HI but that vendor has mixed reviews here on the OB.
I bought one at EFG Octoberfest a couple of years ago - believe the vendor was Miller tropical and have noticed that several vendors had them at The Redlands Orchid festival last year - was not able to attend this year.
'Orchids by Eli' is who I got it from. He's out of Puerto Rico and I have bought more a couple dozen plants from him. He usually has a number of species and hybrids - some unusual ones too. The plants are usually a bit larger for the money and his shipping costs on multiple plants are very reasonable - to my location anyway.
Where to find Cyrtopodium punctatum?
