| Acquiring a Phalaenopsis natmataungensis
I saw a few pictures of Phalaenopsis natmataungensis online about a month ago and fell in love with it. I would really like to get one. But I have been pulling my hair out searching for one on the internet without any luck. Does anyone know where one could be found for purchase (other than the rainforests of Myanmar)?

I have never seen any for sale, and I think it's a good thing for the time being. Hopefully there are conservation efforts going on to make sure it is not completely wiped out in the wild by locals collecting the plant to make a few bucks. I would assume eventually that they will be available, hopefully by flasking seed and cultivating seedlings. It was only first discovered back in 2009, no? If so, that is not much time to reproduce this species by seed and distribute. Be patient and you may be able to get one in the future  |

Quoting from this website Phalaenopsis natmataugensis : "This species was described for the first time in March 2010 by....", that is not much time between when it was first described up until this date. Definitely not enough time to be distributed the right way, worldwide to supply Phal-heads with a new species plant to add to their collection.

I see a new line of candy striped Phals in the future.
