Nice vietnamense, I think I need more of them. Time to go shopping.

Though that might seem like a lot of plants, eric was very restrained in his purchasing! I bought a few more than expected, but then there was a lot more I wanted to bring home

Oh and I realized that using tapatalk on my phone doesn't show people's signature files, so I had never seen in posts that RNCollins was 'Carol'

Love the group photo!

 

[abax]

I'm glad you got there and back before the nasty storm
'acoming. Hey, where's that sharp dressed man I saw
in another photo last year. Where'd he go???? Eric, I do
believe you stole my gardening hat! I love that old hat...
send it right back.

I'm soooo jealous. I love orchid road trips. I did a road trip in a
rented van to Redland some years ago with a Chicago friend, a
friend from France and a galpal from Alabama. We filled that
van to the brim with orchids and had a blast.

 

[NYEric]

I clean up nice! Thanks. There photos are in the Orchid Event threads.

 

[Silvan]

really nice vietnamense.
Did you manage to save your klotz and Josephine (or is it Apollo?) from rot?

 

[NYEric]

The klotz and the canh should be OK. The compot I lost was the Apollo's. . The Josephine are OK.

 

[Silvan]

Sorry to read that you've lost the Apollo's Well Peruflora's probably has some flasks left and they're affordable. Unless you think that you lost them because they are less tolerant to heat than others ? I also got a small flask of it. Future trade?

I hate rot. I almost never win against it.

 

[NYEric]

It's an uphill battle. Definitely a possible future trade, thanks.

 

[cnycharles]

Try getting pageant fungicide and treating seedlings with it. It promotes rooting and hardening of many plants

It could also be used to harden plants that are going to be shipped or put into a show

 

[NYEric]

Thanks. that's better than the Banrot ?

 

[cnycharles]

Banrot is an excellent fungicide and not overly dangerous, very good for treating present disease. Pageant is very safe for many plants and is an excellent pre-fungicide meaning spray before disease shows up and somewhat works after disease is running. Best about it though is its ability to harden treated plants and for many to induce rooting more quickly than otherwise. The whole class of strobilurin fungicides do this to one degree or another but pageant affects the widest range.

That said nobody has run trials specifically for orchids so treat a few and see how it goes, and keep trying until you feel it is safe for your conditions and plants

 

[NYEric]

don't have any Pageant.
