I understand not getting any plant that is endangered, but the tag usually means that the plant is endangered in the wild, but many of Florida's endangered orchid are readily available in cultivation. Seed collected.
Epidendrum nocturnum is one Rigid epidendrum is another, and also Polyrrhiza lindenii and many more. There is conservation in propagation as long as the plants are not removed from the wild. Please don't be mad at me.

I would never get mad at you Dave

Okay, which vendors have this "endangered" plant listed for sale? If it's a vendor we all know to be reputable and trust...and they say it's been cultivated and not taken...I'll change my stance on the subject

...but...

it's not available in Europe or Canada as far as I can see so in this particular case, it doesn't matter

Sue- You can add Epidendrum peperomia as available in Europe. I didn't know that it was also called Epi. porpax and Nanodes porpax, and I found it under those names!

Btw, if you are interested in how I find the EU vendors, I created a search engine with 30 vendors so far:
Orchid vendors in the EU search engine

I forgot to say that not all the listed vendors work, so in reality about 15 or so bring up hits for the different orchids I've tried

Cool, Camille!

That means it's available in the US, EU and Canada!

Thanks

Just to be sure .. are laelias out of the picture because we had it as our last project plant? I can't submit Laelia pumilla Laelia pumila at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate
or Laelia praestans - Laelia praestans at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate
then ?

I think we should try to avoid any genus that we've already used in the projects this time around...we have plenty to choose from
