I bought some orchids from Hourai at the WOC in Dijon, dend. lasianthera
included. They were carefully packed and looked pretty good, the vendor told
me they are very dehydrated and that I should water them for at least 1h
first. So I did. Now 2/3 of them spend holidays on a sphagnum beach, some
died. I just lost quite big amount of money ...

I think it is interesting to note that Houri ships from Malaysia via the
USPS (how do they do that???), and offers a wide variety of paph species.

As all slipper orchids are on the CITES Appendix I, they are not eligible
for trade, so if you buy any from those folks, be prepared to have the
USFWS
seize them and potentially fine and/or jail you!

Those "minor issues" make that vendor questionable, in my mind.

I found this by googling...I'm sure there are more sources out there.

Cheers,
