Wonderful Carol!!! Trish is going to talk to Dave. So it may be easier soon and I will post a part 2 for Feb. tomorrow.

Carol,
Your plants are just incredible, beautiful colors! Reminds me of tropical islands... wish I could be there now!
Here's my "happy family" portrait.

They sure do look happy!

I've
got a few more blooming, so I'll post them before the month runs out. First two are the new ones

Here's another green and yellow one for you Kathy! I wanted to wait till it was completely open, but we are expecting a storm, and it already has hail damage from the last one. NOID standard

Another view

NOID epi.

Another NOID epi. these live outside year round and always have some blooms

You have wonderful orchids, Carol!! Wish mine were outside because that would mean it was June!
I especially like the cym you knew I would like and the nice pink one (wish I could have big ones) and the art shade catt.

Went to another show today. My wallet is empty. What a week for orchids! Two shows, two greenhouse visits, lots of new ones, and the Orchid cubit!!! This is so much fun that I need a nap! More later.

My biggest problem is no room! We have the big show at Santa Barbra comming up the first weekend in March, which I have never been to, and another show in San Diego the last weekend in March. What's a gal to do???
Hope you got a good nap...you deserve it for all the work you are putting in on this Cubit!

Up from my nap.....Santa Barbara and San Diego. Wow, you live in orchid heaven. You'll need another home! Sometimes I think I need to pitch a tent and leave the orchids inside.

Coelogyne cristata

Here is a few pictures of Orchids from Kew Gardens collection. If you like these I could start a regular 'Orchids from Kew' thread, or would you all prefere this site to be plants grown in private collections.Please let me know your views.You may have already seen some of these pics on the Daves website.
