Wish I didn't know what you mean about the mangled boxes but I admit I do!! It must be comparable to my orders from California. What is typical for shipping that far?

Ken, what a nice group of Paphs! The Lippewunder has HUGE bloom!

I just bought Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Bluebird' in spike on ebay. Also Den. unicum with buds. I have lots of Lou Snearies but they haven't budded yet, but not bluebird (Ursula's influence). I have had a good show from an unicum cross and Laurel loves this one. Pics when they come probably Wed or Thurs.

I just ran over to eBay and looked at your latest. Like it! My most recent eBay buy is:

Lc. ACADEMY COLORS, the pairing of C. Interglossa 'Blue Spots' x Lc. Mini Purple coerulea.

Still waiting for it to arrive.

OO. That's a nice combo!!

I just recieved 8 seedlings and small plants yesterday and today. Bought them on ebay.
2 Doritis pulcherrima species seedling
Oncidium Twinkle miniature mini Fragrant BS
Dendrobium Discolor
Dendrobium Hono Hono or Anosmum Fragrant BS
Sanderara Black Star "Pacific Red Star'
Wils Pacific Passage 'Handsome'
Onc. Rosey Sunset 'Pacific Satin'

Looking for orchid bark, my local Kmart and HD did not have any at this time.
Have to put them right away. Torrie just got a whiff of them and is hanging around more than usual.

Nice loot! can't wait to see them bloom!

Sounds wonderful!

Just received 3 more compact phals form Orhcids.com. The small ones are just perfect to take to work.

Here's Phal. Brother Spring DAncer 'FANGtastic' & Phal. I-Hsin Flying Fire 'Sweetheart'.

A close up of the FANGtastic one.

So pretty!

I just bought Catt. Chocolate Drop 'Kodama,' Phalaenopsis violacea, Gongora from Columbia in spike, and a Bulbo. from Nishihara in Hawaii.

I think this may be the gongora. http://www.orchidspecies.com/g...

Good choices!

My Lowe's had a shipment of plants that just arrived and I snapped up 3 plants! (Makuli-Curtisii)-Maudiae x Maudiae 'Napa Valley' HCC/AOS x sib
seems like a long name...is this a cross with a very close relative?

and
Supersuk 'Eureka' AM/AOS x Raisin Pie 'Hsinying' x sib

and this one with no tag

all 3 of them have been put into glass cubes...with spagnum moss...does it get any better than that for an orchid plant?

Guess you will have an abundance of glass cubes to use as vases!!!
That last one looks like a Miltassia without a lip. Weird, but great colors. I've been seeing Supersuks around here too.
