Good job...I think there is an advantage to living in Canada...at least during Covid.

It's amazing what more plants you can squeeze into little crevices where you thought were not an options before lol.

I still have my oven top orchid free!!

Canada is the small brother who sits back and observes what's going on and then we react, very slowly LOL.

Good news, as first healthcare responder to public, I get vaccinated tomorrow. Wish me luck. I need the vaccines to bloody go to orchid shows around the world (including the big brother US of A lol)

You might check with Tenshin Gardens (Matt) to see his next US shipments. He might be able to help you as they reship from US destinations.

Thanks for the tip. Does Matt have a specific email or is it the [email protected]?

Good luck. I had mine on Friday and felt rubbish the next day and a bit. It seems the younger you are (in VERY general) and therefore the better your immune response the more potential for side-effects.

All still MUCH better than getting the virus so feeling rubbish for a day or so shouldn't stop anyone getting vaccinated!

The question is......how long, Leslie? Lol

Haha I think I have a little more space... for paphs...

I cheated a bit... over the past 2 years, I moved about 100 cattleyas to a couple GHs of my friends hehe.

Yes the info one.

Ten Shin just did a shipment to Canada. Leslie, if you are in contact with the Vancouver Orchid Society we order from them several times a year. Perhaps we can get you in on the next order and arrange to ship them back east to you. Or is there a society in your area that buys from Ten Shin? Might be easier for you. Matt has some great Paph offerings at the moment and I have 12 new plants settling in, all arrived in perfect condition.

Thanks Lori for the offer. I appreciate it. However I get shipments direct from Matt through a friend. Very easy for me .

The second richardianum opened its first bloom. The petals have such a glowing purple edging which no other species have. Very bright in the sun.

Such a beautiful species!

 

[musa]

[spiranthes]
