Anyone know of a vendor with Sophronitis coccinea for sale? I found a couple thru google, but when I checked they were sold out.

Jim and Ron at Petite-Plaisance have them in stock, according to his web page: http://www.petite-plaisance.com/spage.htm I purchased a mounted soph. coccinea with four new pseudobulbs from Jim at the California Orchid Society Show/Sale a few months ago and it’s growing merrily along. Cute cute plant and I can’t wait for it to bloom. -Eric in SF www.erichunt.com
