I also bought 3 laelias on ebay this week since I lost a few of the rupicolous ones. I wrote the seller to send them next week since last night was 16 degrees F. For some reason my message never showed up and he sent them on Wed. I got three very cold plants today. They were in bark so I repotted them in granite chips and didn't water. Keeping my fingers xed. Here is the only one in bloom with very small flowers. Laelia angereri.

Ken, your C. Chocolate Drops flowers twice a year!! Nice!
I love the Paphinia Majestic.

Lindsey, interesting Cym x.

Kathy, you had 16 degr F? That's disgusting!! Hopefully your Laelias are fine!
We had somewhat cool but sunny weather at Longwood Garden at the SEPOS which goes on until tomorrow. It was a nice show and we came home with interesting stuff. More of that is coming....

Have to get ready here to go to a baby shower, but in the meanwhile -
Laurel, I picked up a Pleurothallis brighamii yesterday which looks very much like your little Pleuro.

I didn't see your pic quickly here, so I looked at DG and Kathy had it posted the link for it already! Thumbs up Thumbs up

I have improved on my ID skills!! Hurray! I used to be so bad at ID!!

Just want y'all to know that I posted a bunch of great new videos, many from the Orchids Limited folks, think Jerry and Jason Fischer, in the Orchid Videos thread. http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

I also put a video about Orchids Limited in the Favorite Sellers thread. http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

Thanks to both of you for the ID. Looking forward to SEPOS photos, Ursula. In the meantime you better get out your canoe with the weather headed your way.

Lindsey, great find on the Cymbidium, it is a beauty.

Phrag Noirmont looks great Kathy, I think it might have some extra n's in its makeup, it is so strong. Hope your laelias aren't affected by their cold treatment.

Nice Camera Todd, and great pictures. I love that Cymbidium Dark Spirit, what a knockout. Has the same bloom been on Ron Williamson since Nov. or is it sequential?
