I’m assuming you checked with Marilyn (Windy Hill)? I didn’t see any on her most recent list but she usually has items in small quantities that she doesn’t list.

I did not. Maybe I will send her an email.
I got a phragmipedium caudatum from Ecuagenera USA. The plant quality seems to be better than from all the way from Ecuador. I think there probably just acclimated. Mine is in spike with 2 spikes and the plant seems to like me. Mind you phragmipediums usually hate me. I got a humboldtii from the Ecuador branch and it died 
. This is all I can help with and I know you said you knew Ecuagenera. However a lot of vendors just buy from them and acclimate them and sell them as their own for 3 to 4 times the price

Also I know orchid web will have them. However because they think some of their plants are GOD LIKE standards 
your check book may get slaughtered. You have been warned

Bill Goldner had flasks last year. So i suspect they will start surfacing as seedlings soon.

I have a large humboldtii 'fortuna' from ecuagenera that i could divide the next time i repot. Or i have the division in the photo, it just doesnt have a tag and i dont know if its humboldtii or grande. The plants with tags refuse to bloom at the same time so i can ID correctly. If someone else knows for sure, lmk lol

Thank you for the offer, Cody but I have found a source for my plant.

FYI, if the plant is compact/small, then it is humboldtii, if it is a large plant, it most likely is warscrewicianum.
Phrag. humboldtii is a smallish plant, and the flower has very long petals and a "red" pouch. I believe it likes a cooler temperature and very bright light.

By large, I meant its got 30+ growths. It's fairly compact, comparatively, and very upright. Also I meant to say that particular division is humboldtii or zapatilla de la virgin, not grande.
