I am looking for a source for this plant from a grower in Florida. I have not had much success finding suppliers anywhere in US. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards

I can only find it in the US at Trichopilia at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate

You're welcome

Actually, I should be thanking you...you showed me a gorgeous chid that we are probably going to add to our current OB project list for consideration.

Ueichi, you can also find this species at Orchidaceae, Inc. (in Washington). I've ordered from them before and they're a good vendor. And the species you're looking for is blooming size and under $30, which seems (to me) to be fairly reasonable.

Oh well...it's too large for our project but I did also find it at Woodstream Orchids and at Hoosier but it's sold out there.

I saw this orchid at last years GNYOS in NYC - I would say it's is not a small plant but it was spectacular !!!

Again thanks to all of you for your help it is really appreciated. I ordered a plant from Orchidaceae in Washington. The cost of the plant is reasonable and I guess so is the shipping considering it is going across the country. I will post pics when she blooms. Thanks again.
