I went to Silva Orchids today, they had their annual Winter Open House. James Rose of Cal-Orchids was also present with a very nice selection of things.
My boots were very shiny and I had FUN.
Here is my loot
From Silva
Paph Dollgoldi Division
C. Nancy Off '1010' in bud ( this is a huge white Cattleya with a yellow throat, the scent is wonderful. )
C. Janice Evans 'Sweet Sixteen'
Pot Final Touch 'Mendenhall'
Holc wangii
small Paraphalaenopsis serpentilingua hopefully it will bloom in my life time….
From James Rose
Lyonara MemDoug Lace 'Roseminah' 2 spikes
C loddigesii 'Shorty' x C walkeriana 'The Chairman AM'AOS looks like a loddigesii on steroids ( I suppose this is a version of C x Dolosa)
L purpurata [striata x ( 'Caixinha do Seara' x 'Dante Vagnotti')] Looks very similar to the one I had lost in that wet 2009 Summer
C intermedia 'Sendai' BM'/JOGA
Neostylis Pinkie 'Starry Night' 2x very cute!
Lycaste Abou First Spring, it is a really nice, large pink. I hope I can bloom it.
Podochilus muricatus James asked me how my plant was doing. I told him I had lost it last year and he gave me a new one for free.
Is he a nice guy or what! This time I will mount it.
