Welll....... I think I need to do a bit of research. There was nothing in the NY Botanical Gardens Orchid Exhibit that really moved me. Perhaps I missed a bunch. But for sure I will have to chose something easy being the neophyte that I am. I think I'll go shopping on line. Is there a deadline?
If I could buy just one orchid this year it would be a Phrag. besseae 'Who Knows Why' AM/AOS
I wish I could find one that I could afford as it's bright and wonderful colors would be sure to show brightness and colors with the hope of growing it into a winner and beauty.I recently lost all my orchids when my greenhouse burned to the ground.If that was not bad enough it happened while I was recieving chemo therapy. Well as we all know when it rains it pours.......
I wouldn't mind getting a bulbo echinolabium... But not for myself. It would be for a friend. He had one in bloom and suggested I take a whiff... Not NICE! :evil: Anyway... he wants one to outcross and get more of these stinkies.
For myself I would love to get one or more white blooming phrags to go with my Silver Eagles. (Thanks again, Matt)
The one plant that is tops on my list is Paph Skip Bartlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS. Given its current pricing, it may be on my list (and NOT in my grow room) for a long time.
For me, I want a nice division of an oldie but goodie. Paph Winston Churchill 'Indominatable' FCC/RHS. One of these days, i simply have to break down and fork over the cash for it.
I've been looking for a nice Paph parishii....I used to have several that were wonderful and bloomed every year. I somehow managed to lose them and I really miss the fantastic show of eight or nine glorious flowers with dark curly petals. Anyone know where I can find Paph parishii?
