Welcome to the forum. It's a little late in the season. We may be able ot do a group order in the Spring.

You can also try raising rarities. They ship through the winter.

Tom's listing has most of the source in the US (and Canada):

It is probably easier to go with bigger plants than freshly deflasked ones, though. When I started with Cyps, I tried twice from Spangle Creek. Only two or so are still surviving out of 35 or so after 3-4 years... I'm recently getting bigger ones to practice before going back to deflasked seedlings.

We may be putting together an order from Tom Nelson, mature rescued species plants.

Try Gardens Of The Blueridge in Pineolo, NC.
They have all of our native orchids of the high country. They keep the cyps in individual bags in refrigeration to mail out in the spring.
They have a great catalog you can get on line

For growing in pots? I heard that there are prairie ones and mountainous ones.
