I checked their website this morning. Had to slap my hand to keep from ordering about 6. I'm still trying to figure what can come in this winter and what can take it's chances outside, and there is a show comming up the end of this month about 15 minutes away. So many orchids...so little room! Sad

Aren't we all a little crazy? Phrag Hanne Popow looks like a really nice one and Phrag Hanne Popow is very interesting too. Hope they are nice ones when they arrive.

Paramount is one of the best companies in Canada as Todd can vouch. He makes a pilgrimage each year. They were very kind on the phone!

Lois Duffin has some Australian plants cause they went there to buy. I also got some at the Amherst sale. I seem to be into an Australian thing.

I'm sure I could grow them if I had a climate controlled greenhouse. My "let them swing in the breeze" philosophy just doesn't support certain types of orchids.

The Paph was probably a mistake, but I have to try one...Thumb of 2010-09-26/ctcarol/597b6a
