I smell orchids cooking in the kitchen.

Look who's back! What are you driving now, an armored car!? oke:

 

[cnycharles]

is that a nanodes medusae with some trichopilias?

my caladenia latifolia also failed to show up. a few others started sprouts and then dried up, think it got too hot. I was only watering once in a while

 

[Pete]

One trichopilia - fragrans, no Nanodes.

Some of them just aren't all red yet. the Dragonfruit is interesting. Not as sweet as I would like. I prefer Lychees!

 

[NYEric]

I made a Guava, Passionfruit, Dragonfruit and Pear sorbet tonight. I will use it for a smoothie tomorrow!!

 

[Pete]

lychee season is just ending here.. miss em already

Paph Delophylum from Ernie's Enlightened Orchids

That's a Paph. Fairy Dell (Delophyllum X fairrieanum), Eric. They're pretty nice, IMO. Delophyllum with a nice fairrie twist to it.

There was a Dragon Fruit plant here for sale at Lowes! I pondered it as I could fit in in my new g.h. But I read it can get 25 ft. tall? And since I've never tasted the fruit I passed it up. But, now I'm sort of kicking myself. Wonder if it's still there...hmmm...

Dragonfruit plant is a type of climbing cactus, similar culture to Selenicereus sp. Most people grow them under full sun, tied to a one (or several strong wooden posts). Aerial roots will be produced and stick onto the wood. The plant will not start to flower until it has cleared the top of the posts and start to dangle down a bit. Then you will get lots of fruit. Flowers are supposedly very fragrant at night.

Forgot to mention, the real dragonfruit plant has stems that are triangular in cross section. There is another miniature decorative 'dragonfruit' plant with rather crinkled stems...

 

[NYEric]

Dont worry, I wont be growing any of those here! oke:

Oh! I didn't take time to pull and read the whole tag! Thanx

 

[SlipperFan]

Sigh. Another "gotta have"!

 

[Marco]

Look who's back! What are you driving now, an armored car!? oke:

Only if it will give me at least 40 miles per gallon.

 

[NYEric]

I didn't know there were armored car hybrids! oke: Congrats on finishing the [brokers?] test. Are you still growing any orchids?

 

[Marco]

Thanks Eric. If you do find any armored car hybrids that are reasonably priced please do tell! Nope not the series 7. I knocked out the CPA exam I got my final results late last month. Orchids negative.... I get not natural light in the dungeon.

 

[NYEric]

some stuff in bloom. The Bolopetalum is very easy, reliable, and fragrant.

 

[biothanasis]

Fantastic all!!!! I love the gastrochilus....!! What is the plant in the photo above gastrochilus?

 

[paphioboy]

You bloomed the dendrochilum in a NYC apartment? I'm impressed
