The space at OoaB is pretty full at the moment - getting more plants might be considered foolish. Still, I'm sure if anything really interesting comes along...
Plants I would like to own (you can find some pictures further down the page):
Orchids:
- Aerangis mystacidii
- Angraecum breve
- (In general, most Aerangis and Angraecum are desirable IMO!)
- Bartholina burmanniana - interesting terrestrial orchid indigenous to .za; crazy spider-like look to them.
- Brassavola nodosa
- Bulbophyllum rothschildianum
- Bulbophyllum wenlandianum/collettii
- Bulbophyllum are also very interesting in general
- Dendrobium Antelope group.
- Dendrobium cuthbertsonii
- Dendrobium spectabile
- Encyclia cochleata
- Macodes petola
- Masdevallia glandulosa
- Paphiopedilum bellatulum / hybrids
- Paphiopedilum rothschildianum
- Phragmipedium besseae
- Restrepia antennifera (and others!) - Don't think these will like OOAB conditions though :(
- Pleurothallids look generally interesting.
- Rhyncholaelia digbyana
Things that used to be on the wishlist that have been acquired:
- Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta
- Aerangis fastuosa
- Aerangis modesta
- Angraecum didieri
- Coelogyne cristata
- Dracula
- Masdevallia
- Maxillaria tenufolia
