Try Hauserman - I got my first lycaste from them and it started an addiction. Andy's also has them right now.

Try Santa Barbara Orchid Estate.

Oak Hill Gardens has one that is really reasonable. Also there are a couple on Ebay. Not sure about the sellers, but that's because I've never bought on Ebay before.

You can ask Dean over at Paphiness Orchids . He doesn't grow them or know anything about them, but he does make trips to OZ(Orchid Zone). I don't know how much they are, but click on the link and see if there's anything you like.

Ive gotten some from Tropical Orchid Farm on Maui. Good stuff. They always have some plants in the back too that arent on the list. Give 'em a call and see if this is true for Lycastes.

Roly, Which Lycastes do well for orchidists in the Miami area?

They've got 2 of them and seem reasonably priced. I'll wait until I decide if I'm ordering from TOF or not if not I'll get theirs. Thanks

They've got a lot of them but they also have a one moth quarentine to send to Florida. I might as well wait for Redlands to come in May and see what I find there. Thank you !!!

There is a problem with that though. This guy at the OZ only sells plants in bloom and there are no prices listed

I did call them today to inquire and they only have two on their site and the lady told me that the mycrophyllum 'Red' is acually sold out :cry:

I've seen a couple been grown by society members but can't remember the names.

If you're gonna wait till the Redlands Show, order in advanced from Ecuagenera or Orquideas del Valle. You can also ask Andy from Andy's Orchids to bring them with him.
