You are a saint, Tommy. :) Tropic Orchidees (France) has the Madagascar leonis on their website & expects they'll be available beginning in May, after the plants have acclimated. If you think there may be a way to order from them, let me know.

Any of the ~270 Oberonia species I have not seen in the trade.
High on the list would be any member of Oberonia section Scylla: bicornis, claviloba, dolabrata, fornicata, scylla, tenuis, wallie-silvae, weragamensis (I hope I remembered them all). Really, I'm not picky, just any ;)

I guess the closest thing I can put in this thread is Masdevallia newmaniana. It was supposed to be out of cultivation for the last few years due to a virus in all of them. Just a week or so ago I saw it for sale on the ecuagenera list for 2015. Anyway, I can't actually add it to my shopping cart on their webpage and have been emailing them for two days about it. Oh well, I guess they will eventually contact me.

Roberts Flower Supply also has a number of Angraecoids, -- though don't know if he has leonis per se -- but, like Windswept, does not have a list of orchids on their site. You might give them a call as well:
ph 440 236-5571 e-mail rfs@orchidmix.com

Should you contact them, you could add some cyps to your shopping list. heh

Phal appendiculata...though I think I might have found one. Sadly it's winter and I'm hesitant to order until it's warmer.

The Madagascar leonis is difficult to find. One way to get your leonis from overseas is to find out which US vendors go to shows overseas and then call them, explain the situation, and ask them if they could help you bring the orchid into the country.
This place, Orchid Species seems to have quite a few Angraecums. Could they find it and import it for you?

Correction...I see that someone has already suggested it.

Yeah, that's the place. Hopefully it's still in stock when the weather is conducive to shipping.

You might consider pre-paying and asking them to hold shipping. Most will.
