Miscellaneous stuff

[Clark]

The good thing is that I got infomation that Oak Hill has some good stuff I can get at the Chicagoland event

Plane, train or bus???
Christine expressed interest. We talked about plane to, train home.
There is no way I'll fly out of Chicago again!!!

 

[NYEric]

Plane, rent a car to get to the diff venues, then plane home.

Yes, H. rhodocheila and H. erichmichaelii have been crossed before, in fact I have one!

Habenaria dentatas! Heh heh you said tatas!

They look good! Mine are just about to flower, that is if something doesn't eat the buds first :sob:

Update on African Violet shown above. It should be fully blooming next week!

 

[Clark]

Precious, and nicely displayed!

 

[NYEric]

Thanx. I'm finding that a lot of mini african violets dont like air movement, similar to certain jewel orchids.

 

[JeanLux]

very cool pic, but it has lost a bit of the besseae colors !!! Jean

 

[NYEric]

If besseae made flowers like this little monster I'd never grow anything else! :wink:

Been a busy week
first I got my paphs from Nick T's liquidation via Bob in Albany.

I've started using net pots and a mix of bark, sphagnum, diatomite, charcoal, and large perlite for paphs, as some of the people have posted big pots of parvis this way.

Then today I went to a person who advertised closing their greenhouse on the Orchid Mall. He had lots of big plants listed at great prices, so I traveled to Amish country!

I know some of you never thought you'd hear this from me but I went a little too far this time!!! Luckily I got a lot of plants for $90!

 

[JeanLux]

OMG :drool: !!!! This is a great exemple to show to beginners how large they can get !!! But they do not stop at that size, when you take care of them !!! What are all of those in detail? did you take that Schombourgkia (from the 5th pic), and the vent. (on the 4th )? Jean

 

[wojtek]

New paphs ??

What paps you bought ??

 

[cnycharles]

the plants all look very well cared for, but some of them are huge!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Quite a haul for just 90 bucks! Is that a Cyrtopodium I spy?

 

[SlipperFan]

Why does that remind me of NYEric's apartment?

 

[NYEric]

Quite a haul for just 90 bucks! Is that a Cyrtopodium I spy?

Yes, punctatum.
JeanLux, those were bought by another buyer, and were waiting for his 3rd trip to move plants; he spent over $1300 on plants so you can imagine what he got if I only spent $90!!
I got a few LARGE Epi's, a gongora, a couple stanhopea, a couple eria's, a dockrilla, and a bunch of other stuff.
Wojtek, I got a mix from the Nick Tennacci sale parvi mixes and brachy's.
