    Cyp. acaule in woods

    You know 3 moles tunneled into a sugar plantation and popped their heads out 1 by one from the hole. The first mole said he thought he smelled some worms, the second thought he smelled some grubs and the third, struggling to get his head out of the hole said all he could smell was molasses. :)

    Onc. carthagenense

    It wouldn't be a mini anymore though....How big is the hybrid plant compared to that one?

    Photos of malipoense vs. jackii leaves

    Wow, what a difference between the leaves. And I always thought they looked exactly alike, the flowers at least, now I have been proven wrong. Thank you!

    Onc. carthagenense

    Rob, down there we grew it at about 900 meters in the Guanacaste Province, which has a dry season from about November 15th till May. It was mounted on a branch. It got heavy rains from June to October, with September/October being the heaviest. In the dry season there were nights when it...

    Onc. carthagenense

    WOW! I love this flower, my friend gave me one down in Costa Rica, I traded him for a few pleuro species. It flowered once for us and then we brought it to my mother in laws house and she killed it....Oh well. Very nice color though!

    Importing and exporting orchids

    I tried to get my wife to go to prakside last weekend, but we ended up going to the Sun instead (Mohegan Sun) and instead of coming home with plants I came home with a few extra bills in the pocket! Gotta love the payout on the roulette table...

    Importing and exporting orchids

    OK, good thing to know about importing plants, I really wasn't planning on it, but looking at Ecuagenera's site, it's tempting! The real reason for the post was because I wanted to know about importing the plants into Costa Rica and if anyone has ever done that before. Maybe a vendor that has...

    Medium Grade Charcoal

    I thought about that, but I figured I'd see if anyone wanted it like that first....

    Medium Grade Charcoal

    I just ordered this from Kellys Korner and I didn't realize how large the medium grade was, so does anyone want it. It is 1/4 cubic foot. The cost is 6.75 plus shipping, same as from Kellys Korner. PM me and let me know. -Josh

    Importing and exporting orchids

    Ok, I have 2 questions. First, if I buy plants from an overseas vendor, say Ecuagenera for example :) do I need an import permit and where would I get one of those. Second, I was telling my wife, who is leaving from the WOC and going to Costa Rica (so lucky, I'll be staying stateside and...

    Peach Phrag Besseae

    Marco, you gotta see it in person! Maybe tomorrow I will take a picture when the sun is hitting it, it might come out with better color.

    Peach Phrag Besseae

    Here are a few pics of the peach besseae I got the other day. The color is a little off, I think it is a little more orange. I was hoping it was going to flatten out a little more, it's been open for like 3 days now, what does everyone else think, it'll flatten more or thats it...

    C. Motte Spot

    the outside shot shows the best color, in the inside shot, the white is too bright, ISO too high maybe??? Looks good though!

    Neo. var. skunkyuden

    Marco, what was the root growth like when you repotted it into the s/h? Do you think those dead roots died because they were the older ones and couldn't adapt to the s/h culture?

    Organic fertilizers

    UPDATE....Today I mixed my normal fertilizer application of Neptunes Organic Fish and Seaweed liquid plant food. Before I mixed the fert, I tested the ppm of the water coming out of the hose and it read 224ppm. I think that it is about 20ppm more than the last time I tested the water, but it...
