I buy from Nia and have always been happy with her plants.

Here is Dendrobium Nora Tokunaga from Marble Branch Farms. I was amazed that the nearly opened buds came through the mail looking so perfect.

That's going to be sooo pretty!

This is Vuyl. Melissa Brianne 'Tawny Tart'.

This is my little bonus baby Dendrobium aberrans.

Susan they look great!!!
You mean aberrans, yes?

I don't have the lovely tags with precise names that you guys do. I buy them and see if they bloom and then try and figure out what species they are, rarely are they hybrids. This little orchid is probably a local one, I don't know anything about it though. I'm probably going to mount it either on a piece of wood or on the log in the pond. Any guesses on what it is?

Looks like an Epidendrum. I think a reed one.

I just got 4 orchids in the mail (nothing in bloom):
Another Soph. rosea http://www.orchidspecies.com/s...
Another nicer Laelia liliputana http://www.orchidspecies.com/l...
A Dendrobium schoeninum http://www.sborchid.com/plantd...
And Lc. Sincomedia 'Valley Isle'

Yesterday I received a Vanda lilacina x Aerides houlletiana. It was very dry (bare root) but looks good and happy now. It will have small yellow flowers with a purple lip and it had 3 dried up spikes on a small plant.

Congrats! They sound like great orchids.

Thanks, Laurel!!

I am sure they will be tucked into their spots and much enjoyed.
Congrats!

They are tucked and watered and are cooing (happy to be out of their dark box).

I went to our annual Spring Garden Show with my buying shoes on yesterday.
Four small orchids from Andy's
A NOID Onc. and a Zygo redvale 'Fire Kiss' from Pol Plants
A pitcher plant and a sundew from Mesa Exotics

Onc.

Zygo. very fragrant

loot from Andy's

You did very well!! And the "WOW - Pitcher" plant is blooming!! Lucky you!!

Love those Andy plants. I have Soph cernua too. That Den looks interesting and has a nice bud, yes???? Nice colors on the Onc. and the zygo looks great!

Thanks! That is Den.tuananii, and has 5 nice buds. Hope they don't blast in their new home. I think it was Ursula that posted one this month. Sorry those tags don't show very well on the cubit...they were easy to read on my 24" monitor at full screen!
