Hi corinac - I'm just giving you a hard time, so I am glad you weren't offended. The "there are no blue orchids" is an old trope in orchid growing. In Minnesota we have the second largest orchid society in the States and when I interact with those folks people say it often. So, I love bringing up the sun orchids, partly because they are super cool, but also to point out that most folks who grow orchids only really know a small subset, and typically not the terrestrial species. I'm just having a bit of fun with folks when I do that. Thanks for replying in good humor!

Too bad chlorophyll is green, eh. Interesting how all those vendors are using the same photos, too.

It would be worth buying just to see what you got (if it was cheap).

Nooo! Bad Lloyd! Do not recommend supporting these sellers by even buying ONE seed!

Maybe they have a guilty conscience? I'd be curious to see what grew.
