OK, I don't admit that I'm right in this. As a matter of fact I may be
really wrong, but there was a vendor at the SBOE sale earlier this month
that had some sort of aussie terrestrial for sale. I remember thinking that
was unusual, then I got distracted and forgot all about it. Anyway - long
story short - I think it was Down Under Native Orchids. Maybe you can find
them online somewhere. I have no idea if they were in country just for the
sale or if they have a US base...but heck, there's a lead.

I believe that some organisation in Victoria (that's the Aussie state) keeps a tuber bank for sale purposes. I have
this vague recollection it might have been the Victorian Orchid Society. But, even if it wasn't them, they should be
able to point you in the right direction. Only thing is, I have no idea what the quarantine restrictions may be on such
material.

Does anyone know of a US nursery or orchid grower selling Australian
terrestrial orchids? Specifically, I'm interested in Pterostylis and
Diuris orchids.

Many years ago I grew -Pterostylis nutans- and would like to try again.
( I got the Ptero. nutans from a private individual who is no longer
distributing them)
