Hi! I made the mistake of not purchasing what I believe to be a Paphiopedilum barbatum orchid in person back in December, now I can't get it off of my mind due to my temporary lack of plants situation. Does anyone know of a reputable place or person to get them in Canada other than Crystal Star? They're helping me to identify it but it doesn't look like they have any for sale currently. I'm also looking for what I believe to be a Paphiopedilum insigne from the same "encounter". I'll post the photos I took in case it turns out my identification is wrong. Thanks

kell27, Maybe try these 2 vendors; I haven't ordered from them online, just purchased from them directly during local orchid shows. I think they at least can help you with correctly identifying your orchids. Paramount Orchids (www.paramountorchids.com) Tropical Gardens Orchids (www.tgorchids.com)

Crystal star got back to me and identified them for me, they're Paphiopedilum Maudie Surprise and a bullydog orchid. I'll check these 2 out

Well, the first one I took a picture of just came up for sale again today but with shipping it would be too much so I'm gonna wait for a private seller or check out what's local soon. Oh well, they're still pretty to look at! I found a couple I like from Paramount orchids, thank you Ellsie!

Hey no worries there kell27 !! Glad those websites were a bit helpful, although I think I'm just making your wallet that much lighter I could spend hours on those websites; l am currently leaning towards mini orchids due to lack of growing space! Perhaps I could give you a heads up when the next local orchid show is available here in Vancouver; I'm sure we could work something out, although even if l could pick up any orchids you might want, I'm just not sure if this route would save you any on shipping
