Mary Sue, I'm in San Jose, CA and I'm very interested in the genus. I grow 3 or 4 species and I'm constantly looking for more - same species or others, but finding them is near impossible. The only resource I've found on the internet aside from the pbs wiki is http://www.ucc.uconn.edu/~mro93001/eriohome.html. If anyone is interested in trading and just exchanging information on this genus please feel free to contact me.
