I presented the mini cat first. She loved it. Life is good.

What is the cross on tiny star? Having trouble finding it on google.

 

[Marco]

Sl. Tiny Star = (Sl. Pole-Star x S. cernua)

Sl. Pole Star = (S. coccinea x L. briegeri) x slc. Circle of Life.

Slc. Circle of life = s. coccinea x Lc. Culminant

Thanks!

Nice additions, Marco!

 

[SlipperFan]

Good looking plants!

 

[Migrant13]

Good call on showing the mini Catt first! Nice additions.

 

[Happypaphy7]

I like the tight growth habit of that mini catt.

 

[abax]

Clever strategy you have there. Sneak in the pretty one
in bloom first.

 

[Lanmark]

Nice additions to your collection!

Marco, is that Cattleya one of Peter T. Lin's hybrids? This is very nice grouping.

I know this is heresy, especially on the SlipperTalk website, and considering how much I have benefitted from being here....but, you don't really need...uhh...slippers. Neofinetia make up for this void in a spectacular way!

There, I said it.

 

[Happypaphy7]

It's ok, that's why there are non-slipper sections here.

The main problem with neos is that they only bloom once a year and for very short time.

With slippers, depending on what and how many you have, you almost always have something in bloom.
Not to mention, some paphs like curtisii need no flower to enjoy them.

So, go get yourself some slippers. hahaha

 

[SlipperFan]

Hmmm. And Neos are as much like slippers as Catts are like Onc.

I love them all!

 

[Markhamite]

Lovely new additions. I see I'm not the only one that needs the 'sneak' in new additions. : )

Come over here for a second. :viking:

I did have a few.....a long long time ago...around when members of the "other slipper forum" defected and went to this one. Those were interesting times.

Matt - This plant did come from Peter via eBay (Diamond Orchids Peter in California not BigLeaf Peter in Texas I don't want to confuse folks reading just in case) However, I am not all to sure if it is one of his hybrids. Definitely worth the ask though.
