Title: Swamp-orchids
Post by: WimB on April 25, 2010, 10:44:38 AM
I'm looking for some orchids to try them outside in a bog (together with some carnivorous plants)
Anyone knows where I might be able to find (some of) these?

Calopogon tuberosus ‘Album’
Cypripedium acaule

Dactylorhiza sphagnicola
Eleorchis japonicum
Eleorchis japonicum ‘Album’
Elepogon (Eleorchis x Pogonia)
Pogonia japonica
Pogonia ophioglossoides

Judith Prins in Monster, north of Rotterdam (NL) had Cypripedium acaule on her 2008 list.
She probably will still have them now, you can mail her for a pricelist. See http://www.judithprinstuinorchidee.nl/index.php (http://www.judithprinstuinorchidee.nl/index.php). She has  other swamp orchids which are not on your list, but you may already have these.
If you're gonna buy all of the orchids that you planned, it's gonna be a pricey bog.  :)

Quite a few of these have been available on Paul Christian's website (www.rareplants.co.uk). They're currently listed as "out of stock" (try using the search facility), but that probably means that it's now outside the season for postal sales, and they will becmoe available in the autumn/spring.
He's not always the cheapeast, but the plants I've had over the years are always of good quality.

Very cheap indeed,

in the meantime I received this species from a forum member.
