I'll be there for a couple of hours- don't be shy!

Bidding was FIERCE! Stayed till 1:30pm and picked up the following-

Bletilla striata- pulled from the next county away.
Masdevallia Celtic Frost (Angel Frost 'Orange Parfait' HCC/AOS x glandulosa 'Nemo')
Masd. Marguerite (infracta x veitchiana)
Masd. discoidea

Some highlights-
Blc. Toshie's Magic (Lc Tokyo Magic x Toshie Aoki) $65
Jumellea arborescens $60
Angreacum Magdalenae $75
Blc. Waianae Treasure 'Neptune' $65
Cym. Mary Green $50
Paph. Nightfire x Black Buddah $60
Phrag. Wossner Supergrande $70
Ascda. John De Biase 'Fuchs Indigo' FCC/AOS $80
Psychopsis papilio $55

The vendor sells the Supergrande for $30 online, not sure about the others. I checked the prices of my haul and found the cost was exactly what I bid. Lots of plants went for $10-$20. All plants were in sellable condition (looked great to me!).
Have a good one!

Are you going to plant the Bletilla outdoors?

 

[Clark]

Yes, I have (Sunday). Have much better feeling w/ Bletilla than the cyps. we were experimenting with. Experiment- total failure.
Bletilla was over 30 inches tall, with 2 new growths started out of root ball.

If you check, do you find any of the cyps roots?
