Actually I don’t have access. No-one does. Barita doesn’t allow visitors, has no sales outlet, doesn’t do open days. Strictly wholesale, online or export. It’s also rare to see them for sale locally. This year a couple of the local nurseries had small tables of Barita sarcos for sale when flowering but it was the usual situation we see with garden centres selling orchids - unfamiliar plants with a reputation for difficulty, prices too high, no-one buying, most of the plants unsold till the flowers drop off, then no-one wanting to buy sad-looking little plants even at half price. I don’t know who takes the loss in this situation but I doubt either party will want to do it again. Aside from those, I’ve never seen a sarco for sale in this country. Maybe those who go to shows or clubs see them?
