tarev said:I found other sites recently Cinta, but looking at their locations, some are still in the New England area, so not the time to ship safely I guess. One thing I learned with this plant, got to find the most mature one you can get, 9 leaves or more, otherwise you have to be as patient as can be waiting for it to reach blooming stage which takes sometimes 3 to 4 years. I got lucky I found this mature plant in a nursery next city to ours. Quite heavy too. Price was not cheap, felt like buying a specie orchid. But so worth it now, since it is already in blooming stage.

Am scouting for some more too, since they come in different colors. Love to get a hold of the variegated leaf varieties, but it is quite pricey.

Yes I saw a couple of little ones on one site that they said were babies and and under 30 bucks but I know I am not patient. I was thinking about the little variegated one because if the leaves are pretty I could probably deal with waiting. I combine plants anyway I could put another plant in the pot to entertain me until the Cliva bloomed.
