I can't keep up either! My msn messenger pop up email alert is coming up every 10 seconds! This thread is turning into a chat room! Maybe we should go there to talk? Would make things easier to follow!!

Hi Shakkai, Currlin does accept credit cards (and paypal) I have paid them with both systems already! Thay need to send you the bill with the respective link, or so...

ok, I think I take back what I said before about currlin... I read their AGB and apparently they do not accept it anymore, but they used to do it in the past...

I think that is the case, I checked their 'shipping terms' on this page:
Currlin Orchideen...

For the Cattleya schilleriana , I found it in several places, but....
M-M Orchids: No price indicated so either it's expensive or out of stock. I'll send them an email to find out.
Orchidée Passion: they have it but it costs 40€!
kopf-orchideen: have it, but it says 'Jungpflanze' next to it which I think means seedling.
La Cour des Orchidée: has it, but 1-2 years from blooming. They also have Catt Schilleriana var imperialis which has larger flowers with more intense color.

I'll keep looking just in case!

Exotic Orchids of Maui has it too...that's where I got mine. It's a small plant though and they say it's a slow grower. Maybe we should think twice about a slow-grower as a project plant?

C. schilleriana var. sanderiana
We offer this every now and then because although they are slow growers, the larger plants are quickly purchased by hobbyists who know that this form is much larger and darker in color than the typical schilleriana. The flowers are thick in substance, and waxy. These are mounted on small pieces of cork bark and placed in 2.25" pots to retain moisture.

Price: $12.00
