violacea specialist - Orchid Board

I vaguely remember there is a vendor who only deals in cultivars of violacea. Anyone know who I'm talking about?

I know about Nortons, do they sell directly? Under another name?

I wasn't interested then, recently getting more curious.

TIA

Orchidview is the Nortons.

Wasn't there someone else?

I'm no help but I'll bump you.

Miranda Orchids? Exotic Orchids of Maui has at least one.
Opps...thinking of Cattleyas.

The Nortons have been retired for a few years now. I went to visit them 2 months ago to interview them for a project. Their violaceas have been distributed and now is selling through other vendors like Krull-Smith orchids and Main Show Orchids (Taiwan) and other smaller US vendors.

Big Leaf Orchids may have some. Sapphire Dragon Orchids (through the Orchid Vault sister site) has indigo type equalaceas and maybe some violaceas too.
