Sometimes, because I kind of have a lot of plants and limited growing area, stuff blooms under other plants and I don't notice.

I got the same yellow neos from Merritt huntington.
There are two plants in pot. Smartly priced.
Good luck with them.

Hi Eric,

just by curiosity , how much plants you keep in your apartment ?
how many % of your living space is invaded by the Orchids ?
how long have you been collecting orchids like this ?
when i was a kid about 12 yrs old i took up 3 rooms in my parents house and was growing all kinds of funky mushrooms and molds on the wooden finishing panels of the house, my parents figured it was just not some hobby fling but and i was seriously bitten by the orchid bug and banned me to one of the greenhouses in the back of my parents estate.
do you have any mold issues in yr Apartment ?
any way fascinating how orchids have successfully managed to cohabitate with
you,
ARE the orchids living with you or are you living with the orchids ?
merry xmas may the new year bring you happiness health and many new
interesting orchidflowerings

Cliockchi, we always had plants here but I moved back about 6 years ago. Except for warping the parquet/wood floor I've had no problems. I think its too dry for mold problems even though I grow mostly in water. I get tremendous natural light so I just lose a lot of moisture to evaporation cycle. I have no artificial light though. As people say, I have a "living" room!
JL 10.5 cm wide, 9 cm tall, pouch 3.6 cm wide, dorsal 4cm tall.
 
I went to visit Piping Rock Orchids today, picked up a few plants and had a little lunch w/ Glen, Haley, and Suzanne Decker. Got top secret photos of Pk hybrids and others I'll post tomorrow! :D

:drool: you should never wait till tomorrow !!!! Jean
 
Eric!

Got into this thread for the first time this morning. You have an amazing collection and it boggles my mind that you can find place for all of them in your house.
Second thing is the extraordinary number of sources you have at your disposal. Lots of vendors and even the capacity to buy from ST members.
In Canada, we really have less than a handful of orchid vendors across the country and driving to many of them is unthinkable because of the distance.
As for american vendors, most don't deliver to Canada and for those that do, you have your work cut out in paper and bureaucracy to get them delivered to your door.
Luckyly, my orchid society is very active in group ordering. This is the only way I can buy plants from OL.
Please, keep this fascinating thread running.
And b/w, do you have any space left for a Christmas Tree? :poke:
