K Barrett Your not wrong. But, the importers are basically the Phal growers. The hobby is so large and the collections so diverse - it will take a long time to hit many of us. Like Hausermann's in the 70's they are specializing on one thing. At that time you could walk in the gh and see bare plants unless you timed it to a holiday. The Catts only bloomed for holiday sales. And the sales staff had no time for hobby growers... or species. They were known for attitude. Now there is great diversity and the corsage orchid is only a small piece of the business. The bugs are another issue. We just got hit with the Big Head Carp that were imported for some misguided plan on the Mississippi. Now they are threatening native fish in 18 states.
