Congratulations! The first orchid I ever got to rebloom for me was a maudie type paph also. It feels so nice when you see that you finally got one to bloom! Now you had better make more room because a year from now, you will have more than 50 plants, trust me! I bet you can get that phal to...

Eric, now I see why your pictures are so bad, it's hard for you to get a steady footing with all those trays of plants around. I'd take the same kind of pictures if I was trying not to step on this tray or that tray also.

Wow, big difference, are you sure thats the same cross :poke:

Ouch!

It's a cornstalk cymbidium :)

The Phrag S.A is gone and the Pleuro allenii is gone...

Dot, I was wondering the same thing. I think that was one of those...Maybe now that this thing has another name, I will cross it with what it used to be called and make a plant with "hybrid vigor" even though it will look the same...kind of thoughts.

Marco, he goes with me! Sorry. But actually, I might consider for your most prized Neo. Nah, nevermind, he goes with me. The Sorcerers Apprentice is gone.

No I am in the US now, West Haven, CT. I have to build my house first, then I will move down there. I wish I was there now though, it's getting cold!!

I need to get rid of some plants due to space restrictions so I am going to offer them here for sale or maybe trade. Here is what I have. 6 medium seedlings of Phrag Penn's Creek Cascade, all growing beautifully in 3-4 inch pots of live moss - $10 each Phrag Sorcerers Apprentice - 3...

Tom, I think that they are probably mature by now. I didn't plant the seeds, I was going to send them to my mother in law in Costa Rica so I can't help you there. There will probably be maybe a dozen or so seeds in the pod, thats how many mine had. Maybe you'll have more. They are SUPER...

It's amazing how strong the nodosa's traits are in hybridizing, I'd like to see this crossed back onto L. purpurata and see if it looks a little more purpurata like. To be honest the only nodosa hybrid that I have seen and liked is when it is crossed onto Encyclia (or Prostechea, or Anachielum)...

Tom, I think I can answer that for you. I crossed one of these about a year ago and the pod formed, after a while it turned pink and stayed that way for a few months. One day I took it off and squeezed it a little bit and out popped TINY black seeds, about 2 dozen. I'd say wait till it turns...

cdub, how do you grow them, in soil? I got one about a year and a half ago and planted it in s/h with the fine LECA and the thing grows and blooms like a weed! You should give it a try on one and see how they do for you. -Josh

I bought my wife a Canon rebel XTi for christmas last year, thats what we use. The lens is just the 17-55mm lens that came with the camera, but we also have a Tamron 70-300mm macro zoom lens. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

I agree with Neo-Guy, get a butterwort or 5, or just don't do anything. They really don't do anything except bother you when you see them flying around. Imagine spraying insecticide inside your house with pets and kids just to kill some little annoying bugs that aren't killing your plants. I...

I got these 2 plants from an old CT OS friend, he was one of the people that took me under their wing when I first started going to the meetings, I was 15 then. I can't take credit for the blooms because I think they were in low bud when he gave them to me. Mormolyca ringens...

Rose, my wife was telling her mother how cool it looked to have an orchid planted in a coconut shell but she was wondering where and how many drainage holes there are in it, and also how you made them (We supposed with a drill but you never know) -Josh

I saw that, it starts at 7...I might go up on Friday night, Sunday I can't now because I have to pick up my brother at JFK at 1pm

What time does the show go till on friday? I might have to go up then.
