[Jerry Delaney]

I am looking for a source of Orphys bulbs. Any information as to a source would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There not listing Orphys but its worth asking them.

Gardens at Post Hill

I have a couple of Orphys and some Orchis which grow in my area. Currently they are in the dormant period. While I was doing research on them, I came accross this European Site that ships to the U.S, so give it a try:

Ophrys, Serapias, Comperia and Mediterranean Orchis

Good luck!

There was a thread started here not long ago wanting to know if there were several members interested in maybe doing a "pitch in" and buying some from this vendor. I don't know what came of it.

I did get an email from the woman whos going to get a shipment in this coming fall from a european breeder. This was her response when I emailed her.


" I need to communicate with Svante about a fall order, so I don't know what I will be offering, yet! ...but I will let you know for sure.

Right now I am offering Cypripediums, Arisaemas, and some other terrestrial orchids. You can view them on my friend's web site (I am 'small-time' and do not have a VISA account) Poplar Hill Nursery - Hardy Orchids for your garden

Thanks everyone for the leads. If there is a group that is going to get an order together, I would certainly like to be included.
Thanks Aaron for correcting my terrible spelling. I would like to say that it was from my fingers getting tangled up but that is not the case. I never could spell sic um with trying to include 3 z's and 4-5 r's and now it seems to get worse every day. I am including a little poem that I wish I had been smart enough to create.

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

It's rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

It's letter perfect awl the weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.
