Well, now that's a good question. This one was grown by Dennis Olivas and
originated (I believe... I'm like 99% sure) from Bartley Schwartz aka
Highland Tropicals. As you may know Bartley passed away a few years ago and
his sister (the heir) let the collection decline, finally throwing in the
towel and letting Dennis take over hte collection. You may or may not know
of Bartley, but IMHO he had one of the best eyes in orchid hybridizing. I
wonder if one could OW the clonal name 'Highland' or Highland tropical' to
see how many awards came from Bartley's crosses. Of course theres always
the Oncidium-type that's named for Bartley, which I think got cloned ad
nauseum to the pot plant trade. So to make a long answer short you could
try Dennis at D&D orchids. He may have a piece for sale - which would now
cost a pretty penny. Or he may have others. One never knows with Dennis.
YOu can most easily find Dennis via the Diablo View OS newsletter at their
webpage. I think D&D has a commercial vendor listing http://www.dvos.org
click on 'newsletters'.
