Title says it all. Looking for either flask or seedlings of non-hybrid P. violacea primarily but would consider full grown plants.

Back in the hobby after a LONG break.

I'm in the NE Florida area just south of Jacksonville.

There’s a flask up on eBay right now: ORCHID FLASK Phalaenopsis violacea fma. alba | eBay

Hobby Growing has plants for sale. So far I’ve been very happy with my purchases from them, but others haven’t so it’s worth perusing the reviews.

Thanks, but those are hybrids. Looking for species plants at the moment.

I'll check out your Hobby Growing link.

That particular flask (Phal. violacea fma. alba) looks like a species to me...it's the alba form. Of course, if you want some with the wonderful colors of the species, you will need to look elsewhere.

I think you are correct, I read the wrong description, thanks.

I think that the use of "hybrid" here is misleading... if it listed as the species, it would be false advertising to do so with a hybrid. But there are many line-bred clones of Phal violacea (with considerable variation in color) and I strongly suspect that this is what was meant. You could ask them... Now, personally as a "species nut" I tend to consider species that have been line-bred for "flat and big and round" to the point that they are unrecognizable to their pollinators to be "species in name only" ... they meet the definition, but not the concept.
