Olympic has them for $8.
Seagrove has them for $25

I had also seen them at Olympic, but didn't put in on the list since it says that it will bloom next year. However we have other plants on the list that are near blooming size, and I think that it usually means blooming in a year.

We can always add it to the list, and if it makes it through the first vote I can contact them to see how many they have in stock.

I suggested that one earlier on in the this thread. I think it got missed and I can't find the post now! LOL. I think it was a bit on the expensive side in the US - well over the $20 limit.

Really, really, like that one.

I looked back in the thread, and you posted it the weekend that I was away. I must have missed it when I got back.
Anyway it doesn't matter, no blooming sized ones in Canada, and over the limit in the USA. I'll put it directly in the 'doesn't meet criteria' list

Oh my! Look at that list! I haven't been able to view it for a long time but I was able to see the thread as it developed. WOW, that's quite the list to choose from! I'm glad to be back with full viewing power now though (something to do with my area's server I believe).

They are seriously small. We have one pollinated at the garden and it is no bigger than my thumb. They sometimes bloom in flask.

I would classify "should bloom within a year" as blooming size. Especially if they bloomin season just ended.

I found Max schunkeana at Slo orchids for $22 if you are interested. Bs divisions.
