Wanted: Sophronitis Grandiflora
Submitted by Trixie_Jones on Mon, 02/06/2008 - 16:20
Hi all,
Firstly, I'm not familiar with orchids at all. My father was telling me about his orchid collection yesterday and how he is building a new glass house for them all. In passing he mentioned that an orchid that he'd always wanted but never been able to find is Sophronitis Grandiflora. I would like to give him one at as a gift once he completes the glass house.
Can you offer any suggestions on where I can purchase one? I am located in Melbourne.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jenny.
