I went to Roger West's house today and bought:
Laelia lobata alba http://www.orchidspecies.com/o...
Blc. Yen Corona 'Green Genie' http://cgi.ebay.com/T-4523-Blc...
Slc. Final Touch 'Mendenhall' AM AOS http://storesense1.mysuperpage...
I also bought Slc. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' AM/AOS, no spikes, but 4 new growths. http://forums.gardenweb.com/fo...

Nice selections..can't wait to see them!

Good stuff!!

The Green Genie has buds!

Even better! I like the picture in the link!

High drama!

Look like fun ones. Must be nice to be able to see them in person before you buy them. I have 2 budded paphs on the way and am a little worried. Nia22d offfered to hold them for me until it was less hot there, but I hate to miss the blooms, so I told her to go ahead and mail them. I know I'll be home to get the mail the day they should arrive.

It's the shipping from CA in my -10 degrees that always make me crazy worried.

Oo, forgot to mention I love the "desphagnumation activity!"

Got my ebay Macroclinium manabinum. I am soooo in love with this mini. I hope I can grow it well!
Here's a link, too. http://www.orchidsonline.com.a...

One more.

Cleisocentron merillianum looks like an interesting one. The mount is very attractive. Hope it blooms soon for you.

These are the 2 Paphs, Bel Royal and Song of Love, that I ordered from Carter and Holmes. Not very large, but I ordered them knowing they were 1-2 years from blooming. The leaves are a little pale. Hope that is just from being boxed up.

The 2 paphs from nia22d were both much larger and each had 2 buds. This is
Druid Spring. The bloom needs to straighten up a little form being packed, but it sure has a lot of leaves.

Gina Short is smaller all over. The first bud looks almost ready to open.

I just bought a Laelia purpurata carnea in bloom and Lc. Memoria Robert Strait in bud on ebay.

Hmm, still looking who bought the Cleisocentron merillianum in this thread?

You are on a roll, Kathy and Susan!

Me too and I want one!
Maybe we should ask Susan? http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...
I think it's spelled merrillianum BTW.

I'm wondering where that came from too. Sometimes I'm looking up one orchid and get sidetract by another. I looked it up and it looked it up again and sure like it!

Susan

It's clear, since I misspelled it in my original post ( I just corrected it.)

Susan, I think you probably switched a copy paste....mystery solved. I am happy it was still on your "mind".
It is nice and it is still blooming, although the blooms are fading just a bit in coloration.

I found another bargain at Lowe's today
Pot Burana Beauty 'Burana' HCC/AOS ( I think!) I was looking it up on Google on my phone
while at work...a giant no no!

It sure is easy to confuse people online!!!
