Bee-yoo-tiful new purchases... I like the second and third best... Is the third one Papa Rohl?

 

[NYEric]

Thanks for sharing.

The second one is just Paph Faire-Maud

Just went to Norman's Orchids yesterday and bought three more plants: Encyclia radiata, Stanhopea jenischiana and Phal Lioulin Sweet 'Sweetheart'.

Working in the office today and enjoying the reblooming Neo that I mentioned earlier. I've moved it away from my window (faces SSW) so that the blooms will last longer and so that I can enjoy it more. The scent is pretty distracting, I have to try to not bend down and smell it every few minutes, especially during weekdays in case colleagues think I'm obsessed

You are :crazy: :crazy: That 'one plant until I move to a permanent place' resolution is not going to keep... oke:

I've moved into my permanent place, how long I'll be there depends on how long I'll be here in the US of course... My plants so far are:

Angraecum didieri
Cym Golden Elf 'Sundust' 4N - at office
Cym Golden Elf 'Sundust' (normal ploidy) - at office and in spike, which can sort of see in the photo above
Cym Chen's Ruby 'Gold Tiger' - seems to be putting out 3 spikes?! It's not even a large plant... Perhaps I'm wrong and they're not spikes and are just new growths.
Encyclia radiata - at office and purchased in spike
Neofinetia falcata - at office, reblooming nicely as you can see above
Paph Judge Philip
Paph Faire-Maud
Paph ((Hsinying Onyx x Luna Moth) 'Giant' x farrieanum fma album 'Lime White')
Paph (Hsinying Limemoth x Alma Gavaert)
Phal NOID equestris hybrid - at office
Phal Lioulin Sweet 'Sweetheart'
Stanhopea jenischiana
Zygopetalum Advanced Australia Fair 'HOF'

I'm afraid the Paph Hsinying Carlos died already due to rot and the bloom didn't come out right as there was a mealy bug inside the bud The growing conditions inside my hotel room weren't the best, so maybe it's not that surprising!

Oh I can't go back and edit the earlier post... Here are two slightly better shots.

I'm thinking of a Phrag or two next. Any recommendations as to a good vendor for Phrags please anyone?

Was going to get a Phrag and an extra Neo from Cal Orchid, but they were unexpectedly closed on Saturday. So popped across the road to SBOE and got a Masdie instead. I'm going to try this as a windowsill plant in the office, will see how I go at managing humidity, I'm religiously misting it throughout the day

If I was in California and wanted phrags I'd try to visit the Orchid Zone with Dean.

Thanks Eric, I'll look into that!
