I just spoke to the owner of St. Pete Orchid Farm and will meet him down there tomorrow afternoon. I told him I was interested in Enc. polybulbon, Enc. fowliei, Den. unicum and Bulbo. fascinator. He confirmed he has them all and will pull them for me tonight. They are all on the web site page I posted earlier. I'm excited.

Hi Gone Tropical: What phaius did you get? DH and I were over at EFG several days ago and they were packing up plants to take to a show. I am slowly adding to my phaius collection but still need to get a couple more.

Just beautiful, Rene. Now all of your "neighbors" here can enjoy your beautiful plants, too!

Hey! It could be worse. My new neighbors just "paved paradise and put in a parking lot". They're anal about sweeping up every fallen leaf, but don't seem to mind all the drips from their cars.

You can see why I used this type of edging... none of them can back up a car! they hit this about twice a week.

It's sad that after all of these years of advanced human development, cows still make better neighbors than people.

Dtps Minho Princess 'SJ', another rescue Phal. and one of the few that came with a tag.I am fascinated by
the branching of the spike on this one and can't wait to see it fully open.
