Here's who I've gotten catalogs from so far:
#AL Allen Lowrie
#DR Doug Rowland 1992 Catalog
#GH Glasshouse works, 1992
#GS Gordon Snelling 1992 list
#HP Hungry Plants, Spring 1992
#MB Marie Baumgartl of Marie's orchids 1992/93 list
#NP Nature et Paysages, Jan. 03, 1992 Listing
#OB Orgel Bramblett of Orgel's Orchids 8/92 Price list
#PP Peter Paul 8/92
#SS Silverhill Seeds (S. Africa) 1992, prices in U.S. $'s
I've got a merged listing of all the plants/prices from these sources typed
in. As soon as I get the catalog from Lee's, I'll make the whole thing
available through the archive server. So far the list includes 300 taxa
with a total of 1300 entries.
If you know of any other commercial CP sources other than those listed
in Robert's list, I'd like to here about them so they could be added to
this compilation.
The list is certainly fun to read through, for instance, look at the
variety of D. muscipula forms available:
Dionaea muscipula
[AL,$3/: (mixed, deep-red and green-yellow colours) Columbus Pender.]
[PP,$3.25/seed,$5.75/plant]
[DR,15/45p 100/2.25lbs]
[HP,$2/plant,$5/culture]
[GS,$3/plant]
[OB,$2.50/plant]
[NP,40FF/plant]
[NP,45FF/plant: muscipula]
[NP,45FF/plant: erecta]
[NP,65FF/plant: filiformis]
[NP,65FF/plant: viridus]
[NP,65FF/plant: atropurpurea]
[NP,55FF/plant: erecta]
Another surprising thing is the number of species that are offered by
only one source. For conservation reasons, it would be nice for serious
collectors to buy some of these plants and try to propagate them
to the community at large. The more people that grow a species, the
better chance it has for long-term survival.
