We have a March thread of "I just bought", but we have been lately mixing in our "just bought stuff" amongst the other threads.
I don't know what the preference is, but I figured I start a new thread.
I spent a few fun hours today at the Orchid Fest at Silva Orchids. The vendors had brought some especially interesting plants this year, I enjoyed myself very much.
First of all, my red buying shoes bit the dust after more than 10 years and have been replaced by these! Very comfortable!
here is my list:
I came across a large plant of Gongora Pterodactyl/ it was labeled atropurpurea x clavidora and it really caught my attention. Awesome blooms. ( From Little Brook Orchids) Jim and Kathy, is this the same as yours, the ones I drooled over?
Vanda Adisak Blue large plant with 2 spikes just starting ( Waldor Orchids)
Laelia purpurata roxo x russelliana (from Silva) , the flower shape should be better next time, since these plants were a bit pushed to flower them in time for the Orchid Fest.
Stanhopea nigroviolacea and Stanhopea tigrina 'Predator' FCC/AOS ( Cal-Orchids)
Trichoglottis philippinensis (Glen Decker)
Zootrophion serpentinum (Andy's Orchids)
Pleurothallis allenii mounted ( Andy's Orchids)
Dendrobium unicum ( Andy's Orchids)
tiny Laelia sincorana v coerulea (Ten Shin Gardens)
Neofinetia falcata 'Kinboshi' Seed Engei)
Maxillaria Sophronitis (Glen Decker)
and two small neat looking "weird plants"
I was really smitten with this Albuca spiralis 'Fizzle Sizzle'
and this small Euphorbia which awaits identification ( expect an email from the vendor, Dragon Agro) Got a prompt email back, it is Euphorbia francoisii!
And I almost forgot, I picked up two gorgeous Sarracenias, they are already planted into the Bog.
Edited to add vendor's names and the Euphorbia id
