What else you got for sale?

These days I mostly sell bromeliads, ferns, and foliage... Just kind of happened that way, it keeps the lights on. But I do have a lot of nice yellow besseae and some more of those Eumelia Arias. A few other kovachii crosses, some bigger stuff like Grande, Don Wimber, Cape Sunset, etc. Most of that is orchid show sales stuff, I haven't made an list of orchids for web sales in a long time. Frog plants are keeping me really busy.

I didn't get a photo of the inside of the pouch, I don't recall it was much different than the outside. I was planning on crossing it to besseae v. flavum, and was just about to do it when the flower fell off right in front of me. Thought it might make an interesting Hanne Popow type. Right now I don't have much in bloom, so my options are limited. I think crossing it to sargentianum or lindleyanum would be a good bet. Think of what they did for besseae...

Not really, and it sure keeps the eBay photo thieves away. Especially with a kovachii hybrid.

Not much will stop these thieves.

Maybe it will be larger next time.

Rob brought this to our society's meeting the night it was awarded. My recollection was that it was quite large for a schlimii cross -- what I would have expected from huge x tiny.

Rob, I have a sib from you from this cross -- it's coming along nicely, and I can hardly wait to see it!
