I built up my Phrags collection to a couple 100. We had a 100 year freeze here in Dallas of Feb. 2022 and I lost many initally and have continued to loose plants until I am only down to 60??? I am now trying to rebuild my collection. If you have Phrags you would sell, please contact me.

Have you considered Lehua Orchids? I won’t say Graham has the most sophisticated phrag crosses for sale, but I’ve gotten tons of nice ones over the years, and it’s hard to beat his prices.
 
I thought Lehua only did wholesale business...I would have given them a try if they also did retail business for hobbyists.

Edit: Okay, it looks like they do retail as well...for some reason, it showed wholesale only when I looked them up a few months ago.

Or considered attending the Feb 8, 2025 Paph Forum?
Apologies for hijacking this thread. I keep seeing Woodstream referenced. And in fact they are listed as vendors at this Paph Forum. But the link on the Forum page goes to a website from 2020. Does anyone know if they deal with the general public or if it is more limited? I don't want to be pushy but what is listed on the 2020 website looks really interesting.
 
My two cents worth.
Lehua orchids has good plants. Mostly Paphs though, never ordered Phrags. from them.
I really think that if you order 15 Paphiopedilums, his Half Box Special, you’ll get 15 gorgeous plants. Many with several fans and some have multiple spikes. He normally will select plants that you like, say greens/ white, vinicolors, or callosums. Or like me if you like spots!!
He has a list of all his crosses. I get the distinct impression that he doesn’t like to hunt for one of this, one of that, two of this, because it takes time. But if you like vini’s and let him choose the bulk of the 15 plants, he will try like heck to make you happy! Get a full box with 30 plants!!
I ordered a Half Box last June for the MOS auction. They came safely in bud. Many opened for the picnic/auction. I saw three or four that I thought were awardable but I resisted and did not keep them, the members got to bid on all of them.
Since the auction, I have had several members tell me how pretty they are!!
What did I pay?? Hold on to your hat! $251 for 15 Paphs., all in bud. That price included shipping. Do the math, it is like $17 per plant! I pay by personal check AFTER the plants came. Now who does that? Graham Wood does. It is like ordering from your Grandpa!!!
Just look at your AOS magazine in the back pages. So many of the awarded Paphs. are Lehua crosses.

BTW the plants brought in $513 at the auction. That doubles the money I spent. The club made a pure profit from that since I donated them. The club had a record income from the picnic/auction!! Lehua is partly responsible for that!
