Another plant from Marriott Orchids. I did a search here and I believe Leo showed pictures of this cross last year. This is Paph Mach One 'Cinco' AM/AOS x Jenna Marie 'Sparkle' AM/AOS. My wife was thrilled to find a plant in a 2-1/2" square pot with two mature blooming growths and...

This is one I bought during my visit to Marriott Orchids last weekend. Paph Winter Pearl (Magic Lantern 'Suncoast Flame' x emersonii 'Sweet 16'). For those with a poor memory like me, Magic Lantern is micranthum x delantii. This is a first bloom seedling from Hadley's cross HC2573 - so...

Math class You are on the right track but your math is a little off. Start with your plant and it's parents: A P. (Magic Lantern x delenatii) -- 50% Magic Lantern l---50 % delenatii . Each 'parent' provides 50%. The next generation...

Tag Picture Can't seem to get the bloody camera to focus on the letters --- but you get the idea. Charlie

I realize F M Orchids is most likely not in business anymore. Was curious to find out who owned / operated the nursery; did they do any of their own crosses; etc. Charlie

All, I am looking for information on an old orchid nursery -- F M Orchids. I recently bought some older slipper plants. One for example is a large Paph Mercatelii (lowii x stonei). An F M Orchids plant tag was in the pot. The letters are in a fancy script. I am always...

I have one also - # 6057 Paph Cahaba Gold Dust ((Snowflake x Double Trix) x armeniacum 'Birchwwod' FCC/AOS )). These would be from Earl and Phyllis Bailey - ORCHIDbabies in Alabama. Something to look forward to. Charlie

Paph charlesworthii x (Red Sky x Flame Arrow) Paph charlesworthii x (Red Sky x Flame Arrow) ? That is what mine is Charlie

I have asked for a refund. After 2 weeks of repeated emails, the COS response: "As you know all plants had to be inspected by the Connecticut state plant inspector before being shipped. There should have been a certificate in your package, that verifys that the plants were in good health and...

I think that the older, larger established plants are in better condition. The newer, smaller seedlings and divisions are apt to be in poorer health and suffer more from shipping. My 2 cents. I would ask for a photo before sending any money. Charlie

A word of caution. Half of my plants were not in good condition, shipping and packing costs were high and subpar and some plants were damaged in shipping. Anyone want to buy a Paph Julius ?? Charlie

I have heard from Leo about his experience with this auction. Did any other members bid on, win and receive plants from the CT Orchid Society ? Charlie
