Love it! I was stressing the third but that's not correct. I was saying "violacea" stressing the saya but then I heard some seller call it vioLAYseea.

Evidently nothing is as it seems. Laurel corrected me when I said Stan-HOPE-i-a. She says it is Stan-HOPE -a. I just say I'm from Indiana.

Funny!!
I am so glad you never hear me talking, well mostly. Brassavola rolls so much easier off the tongue than Rhynchovola, no?

Here is the Phaius microburst 'Wild Thing' that arrived from Logee's. Once again, I am pleased with the plant and if the blooms are like the pictures, we'll be in for a great show.

Jim

Looks very healthy! Grow phaius grow!

I had a good day on ebay, bought two plants that were on my 'gotta have list'!
Dendrochilum wenzeli and Cymbidium Chen's Ruby 'Gold Tiger'
The Dendrochilum will want to be in a basket when I repot it?

Nice choices!
I grow my Dendrochilums in clay pots.

correction - the magnum is in a basket.....an exception.

Logee's plants are usually not huge, but they are really healthy and they take off as soon as potted up.

I have one in a clay pot, one in a plastic pot, and one in a plastic basket.

Thanks ladies, I bid on a magnum and didn't get it
but I'm thrilled with what I did get!

Bree's into vandas and I'm into mini vandas here! Just received my V. parviflorum and won a Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom ‘Carmela’ on ebay.

My 2 new plants arrived from Hawaii today, Dendrochilum wenzeli and Cymbidium Chen's Ruby 'Gold Tiger'

The dendrochilum is in a small plastic basket..can I just set it in this larger wooden one? Should I put some bark in the gap between
the two baskets? I really like the form on this one, pretty even without flowers.

new plants from Orchidweb (the Fischers).
Vanda parviflora

Phrag Memoria Estelle Getty http://www.orchidweb.com/detai...

Nice stuff Lindsey and Kathy.
Lindsey, regarding the basket - I would probably look for balance here, plant size versus basket size. The plant looks happy in its small pot and I agree, it can (eventually?) be "potted on". ( without removing the old pot) But I would raise it up in its new shoe, which doesn't yet need to be that big.

Phrag Memoria Estelle Getty is a great color. I'm itching to buy just one more before winter, but still looking.

I am very fussy now since each plant requires hours of care so I have to love it for years. I just bought my last cym. It's green and brown! Couldn't resist.

I had a good day on ebay yesterday..I got the Blc. Copper Queen! Some lunatic bid it way way up so I just took advantage
of the buy it now option. Also got Lc. Tokyo Magic x B. Digbyana, Blc. Zul 'Waiomao Fantasy', and Lc. Melody Fair 'Carol' HCC/AOS.
Fortunately, I got overbid on about 6 other plants so my investment was less than a car payment!

Good for you. Gotta fill that greenhouse.....

Hurry with that greenhouse as I may send plants up there to overwinter!

Jim

We got a little closer today

Jim, do you need me to send blankets until I can accept plant guests?
