BUT get this, according to KEW, the current accepted name is Phal parishii!! Same on Orchidwiz, the program stubbornly pulls up Phal parishi's page when I search for decumbens.
But clearly these are NOT THE SAME ORCHID!! (parishii = IOSPE PHOTOS)

I copied everything into the thread with the intention of getting back to these 2 Phals, but as you can tell, I forgot! This thread is just getting too massive to easily go back and check things. I'll search for it now.

I got it! Used the search button to pull up the post, and I already updated the plant list.

Hey, add it to the list. I saw it available in CAN & USA and since you got one as a freebie, it must be available in the EU.

It is listed as Kingigium decumbens at Paramount FS for $26

Parkside in the USA has it for $18

If we could find one or two more USA vendors...

I think it's better to let the canadians tell us, because we need good growers. I know of 2 that we always use, and they can probably give us more.

Camille, here you can find a list of canadian orchid vendors:

Hope it helps.

I saw it, but while a list is good, it tells you nothing about the quality. It wouldn't be very nice for everyone to end up with a poor quality plant... That's why I was asking for known, good growers.

Thanks ALOT for starting this project for 2012 Camille! I had wondered if this was going to be happening this spring... I promise I will look into it when I get a chance probably next weekend. Merci encore.
