Any masdavallia orchid growers out there (USA)

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

I have recently gotten into masd. and attempted to contact Hawk Hill Orchids and got a reply to contact Gary at [email protected] Have gotten no response from them. Are they still in business, Hawk Hill that is? I know Colombian orchids still is. Are there any masd. dealers out there in the US other than J and L. I know Piping Rock also has a few. Anyone have divisions? Not too interested in species although did buy a few from one vender on E-bay. To me E-bay is hit or miss unless you know the vendor and they are not recent imports. Any help would be appreciated.

Gary is both Hawk Hill and Colombian Orchid Imports. I just got some plants from Colombian Orchid Imports (today!). I think Hawk Hill is kind of a casual affair for Gary and some of his colleagues.

I think Hillsview may sell some, but my interest is in species, so mostly I concentrate on the Latin American vendors that show up at shows, etc.

Theresa has sold all of her masd. so no longer has any. Did you get a hold of Gary threw the email address that I posted? I'm surprised he hasn't answered me. He is even giving a talk at our orchid society in May.

I just bought a masd from J&L at the ncos oct orchid show.
Other vendors I’ve bought masd- try fishing creek (Steve Male) and orchid exchange

I did, and had an email conversation with him yesterday. I believe he'll be traveling soon, though.

Darrin at Mountain Orchids in Vermont also has a few.

I have a fair group of Masdevallias but none currently for sale. If you can wait a couple years until I build up stock, I will be selling.

Are you interested in the Hawaiian vendors?

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Yes Eric, Willing to look at any ones list.

Lehua had them but now their website says they dropped them. check OrchidMall.

CHECK OUT Andy's orchids, deals in species, I've never have been disappointed with a purchase from them, large, healthy, robust plants

Note of caution: if you can not keep them cool you will kill them, speak from experience, have send quite a few to orchid heaven
