That's the clone I have. If my spreadsheet is correct then we got it from
Lines Orchids about 5 years ago. They are in Signal Mountain, Tennessee
right outside Chattanooga. I have no idea if they still carry it. Another
member of our society has a different ornithorhynchum that actually smells a
lot better (more like Sharry Baby). Is there a reason you want that
particular clone? I'm not sure it's really much better than any other O.
ornithorhynchum.

Nope, just looking for the most fragrant, and, without much info to go
on. I have a new Sharry Baby and like the sound of 'Lilac Soap'. :-))
maybe others will lend their expertise on this as which is the most
fragrant, and otherwise superior, clone.

I will check with Lines

Well Lines doesn't have a WEB page that I can find. I found the plant
at "Orchids in Our Tropics" and have ordered one!

If your nuts on fragrance there is a recent book on the subject and I
remember seeing a web site listing of fragrant orchids. You may find
it with a goggle search. Neofineta falcata is my choice for small and
fragrant. Although some of the Angraecum family are heavy hitters as
well.

Fragrance is second only to"what I can grow". I GOOGLED up some
Neofineta, 20 to 2500 bucks, take your pick!

PS; I bought the book!

If u are in canada (calgary, alberta) i have one and i don't really like it.
I think i actually have a few divisions if anyone else wants one. I think
mine came from Paramount Orchids.

I thought that was from the London group. Thanks for finding it. Very
helpful. I still like to pick them in bloom. Although any of the
Neo. crosses carry a good shot of the sweet smell. Tonight I can not
remember the whole group.

They are no more expensive than any of the Ascda I buy.
Try Natt's in Naperville (south side of Chicago area)
http://www.nattsorchids.com/ Especially if you want them shipped.
If your in the area don't miss the ChicagoLand Festival in the End of
Sept. All the gh have open house. -- Sure today I don't see one Neo
Cross on the list. Send them a note if your looking for something.

Course you know that an 'EDIT' 'FIND' will snap to all the XS plants in
a snap! ;-))

I found one in Canada but they won't ship to the US! I find that
strange.

Why is that strange?

Even coming from Canada, phytosanitary certs and CITES docs are needed, and
those can be a hassle and costly to get.
