Good looking plants Kathy. I have one with some of the same family makeup as in your Hawkinsara Koolau Sunset, with SLC Mae Hawkins in it. Slc (Mae Hawkins x Golden Wax) x Blc Chocolate Sun has been a reluctant bloomer although it develops lots of new growth, it just opened one bloom a couple days ago.

My new loot.
Paph. Wossners Bellarmi
Paph. Wossners Vietnam Gold
Paph. Wössner China Moon
Paph. Wössner Vietnam Love
Paph. Ma Belle
Paph. Dollgoldi
Paph. Fumi's Delight
Paph. Lynleigh Koopowitz
Paph. Palace Harmonie
Dend. Love Memory 'Fizz'
Phal. amabilis 'variegated'

I received Phal veitchiana 'Bedford' AM/AOS x stuartiana 'Harford' with the lovely dark green and silver mottled leaves as a bonus form Forestview Gardens, much appreciated. Phal x veitchiana is a natural cross of equestris and schilleriana.

If you keep having a problem, Steven, write me a c-mail and we will work it out. Two minds-better than one! Or maybe, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, or something like that!

Susan were you talking about the Leptotes? Well it doesn't matter since all that are mounted came mounted.

Ken, those are beauties and I agree that Paph amabilis 'variegated' is so wonderful! And those great leaves on the Phal. Fun to think about crossing little equestris and big schilleriana. They sure do have interesting imaginations out there in hybridizer land.

I put a post up on the Cubit's Cubit to see if anyone else is having the problem, pics wont post there either so its something with the site I guess.

I uploaded a couple pics of nobile

Hey Steven, you're playing with code now??? I'm duly impressed!
Beautiful variety in your choices. I wish I didn't kill miltonopsis....I almost tried again recently.

I brought up the window for the BBcode and gave it a shot Big Grin It makes the posts look so much tidier.
The miltonopsis is supposed to be quite fragrant, not sure if they all are or not but I really like the yellow. I've been dieing for quite a while to get a Vuyl, was going to get Plush, but this one distraced me and the discription said it's an easy one to grow Thumbs up And as for the Zygo, I figured if I'm making an order I might as well add it in too.

Thanks for sharing your new acquisitions, since I am on a very limited budget until my kids are out of college, then....
I will be visiting my son at Pomona in CA, and am already looking for orchid growers out there (and saving $). How difficult is it to transport plants when traveling via air?

Depends on how determined you are! Todd Boland takes shopping bags of them home when he goes to Paramount. I would stick to one and buy small plants!
