Can someone help me with ordering a papilio?

I have been wanting one of these for a very long time. I actually bought 2 bulbs locally but they were in a bin so I knew I was taking s chance, and they ended up being 'Red Lion'.

I know papilio can be difficult to get it to bloom. Are they actually epiphytes? I do have the terra cotta orchid pots. I like them for my moth orchids but I have one that isn't being used that I could plant my papilio bulb in.

I also have seen that there are multiple papilio crosses. I would just like to start out with papilio. I hope that makes sense.

My last question is size of bulb. For as long as it has taken me to find an actual papilio bulb, I really want to make sure that I end up with a nice high quality bulb.

Thanks for the help everyone!
Andrew
