Re: Pyrorchis nigricans - Looking for this Australian succulent orchid
Seems like an odd one to want when Portulaca cyclophylla and Portulaca bicolor exist. The spectacular Calandrinia species, as well. Even among the orchids, the Bulbophyllum species Attila featured are far more succulent and charismatic. Easier to grow, as well. Most onions are more succulent than Py...

Re: Where did everyone go.
I've heard of the China Cactus and Succulent Union.which as far as I know is an organization of merchants who don't represent enthusiasts, just a subset of sellers.

Re: Where did everyone go.
You can imagine Britain in 1850~1900,There must have been a lot of damage to wild plants back then.it is difficult to convince enthusiasts to reduce their fanaticism about some plants.
