Are there any Orchid Shops in US or other countries that near Hong Kong can
accept ordering paphs?
Or are there any shop owners can contact me for ordering Paphs from foreign
countries, because i cannot find these paphs in Hong Kong. Even though hong
kong orchid shops have, they are quit expensive.
1). Paph. bellatulum var. alba
2). Paph. druryi
3). Paph. leucochilum var. alba
4). Paph. fairrieanum
I know Australia - P & R orchids have one of these
paphs - Paph. druryi cost $15 - $18. But there have no response when i have
sent there an email.
Please HELP!!!!

Technically, one cannot sell paphs internationally, as all are CITES Appendix I plants.

Doesn't that apply to just species? I can order hybrids out of Taiwan
or Thailand... At least I think I can. Or flasked material. Haven't
tried it yet, but I've considered it.

Of course that doesn't help Dicky since he wants species. Perhaps you
can order them in flask? In this case patience is a virtue, but most of
those species will bloom a couple years out of flask.

Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren
1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a. See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase
more orchids, obtain more credit

As long as they are grown from flask, and apply for a CITES permit (which can
cost a bit of money) it's possible.


And as you said, hybrids are exempt.
