I have that JinHe but it hasn't bloomed yet for me. The ensifoliums and sinenses are hard to bloom. I am like you and pick the hard ones first!!
BTW, that isn't a sinense, it's an ensifolium. Scroll down http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...

Its so nice but if its a hard one I will leave it for now. I think I'll go take another look at Paramount..........and see what they have. Paramount is nice since they don't have a minimum order requirement. And I really like the Brassocattleyas they have....


Edit: Ooops... I mean the Oncidiums, I'm getting them mixed up!

I think Steven is hooked! It starts with a couple of Phal., then a Den., then he joins a website! Welcome to our obsession Steven!

Thanks Carol, I am obsessed! I don't think there is much hope for me now.......I just have to decide if I am going to place an order with Paramount.... I am dieing to get one of those Oncidiums hybrids......

Go Steven!!! Don't worry. You can borrow my buying shoes. Don't want you to die of lust!

I'm trying to think of a way to hang one from the ceiling beams..........so the shelf won't get too crowded....

Oh no problem! There are very long hooks folks use (including me!).

If I hang it from the beam it will be a couple feet out from and just to the side the south facing window. A perfect spot and its out of the way so no one can complain! A win-win situation!

Cool! Maybe you could do 2 and hang a bar between them like I did for my shower curtain (so I can spray them with a hose) and hang a bunch.

So many options......I think I should just give into this obsession and stop trying to fight it......... I need to indulge it at least a *little bit* , right?

Absolutely!

Steven,
take a look at Kathy's and Ursula's set up and see how many pots and plants are crammed together?
If they don't think it's crowded...you shouldn't either! Just buy a mess of plants and enjoy!

I'm still hanging on to sanity......must......not....spend every cent.......on...orchids....

not sure how long I will last though...

Steven, where there's a will, there's a way! I live in a 12' x52' mobil home, and last winter I had in the neighborhood of 50 orchids in the house. In my climate, some can stay outside all year, thank heavens. I do try to stick with "temp. tolerant" plants, and some of the ones that require high humidity don't do well in my dry climate, but I keep experimenting.

Thanks Carol I think that is just what I needed to hear to push me over the edge
the only problem is most places stop shipping in October so I will need to be quick and get an order in this week so it can go out next Monday!

You can always check to see if there is an "orchid society" in your area...they love to share.

I will look it up! Great idea!

oh NO! The plants look so healthy and I like the way they ship with two seperate invoices.....and some are really good prices!
