    Don't really expect anyone to have a US source for this. Just curious if anyone has seen this species available outside South Africa? Seems like such a nice miniature/compact species and quite different from the usual Polystachya flower shape.

    I was placing a redland order from Lourens Grobler (AfriOrchids), so I asked about it. He said that he doesn't have it now because it is very difficult to grow and extended period. That's too bad for a beautiful species.

    I wonder if it's truly very difficult or is it because it requires a pronounced dry season. Do they have a pre-order list for Redlands up somewhere?

    Lourens send you the list if you contact him. The due date is in 2-3 days, so I forwarded the list to your email.
