Can you put the names? I'd like to search them in google. Zombie palms!? Are they grown by George Romero!?  |

Ha! They're Zombia antillarum, they're endemic to Hispaniola and very spiny once they have a trunk.
Pimenta racemosa is the bay rum tree...the leaves are used in bay rum cologne and have a cinnamon-like fragrance.
The Nashia is really amazing too...it smells like sweet tea regardless of blooms!

I've bought so many orchids lately, I don't to even think about what I spent. But it is all part of a major redecorating project of my apartment.

I just bought a bunch of orchids, including my first bulbo! Pics when I get home later, but I'm so excited!
Phal. Bellina var corulea (hope I got the spelling right!)
Dracula lotax, yes, I was feeling brave after talking to the grower.
Bulbophyllum caruncultatum v. sulawesi
Dendrobium cutherbertsonii in pink.
He also kindly sent me home with the pink variety of Oncidium Sharry baby. So excited!!

I just ordered I think 11 new orchids from Sun Valley. All are from the Catt family. They should go out this week most of them are smaller ones. I was going to get a paph but decided to wait as it was going to push me up into another $10.00 shipping cost and I am trying to keep the cost down.
I would love to get either a lemon or lime tree.

I'm not sure I have enough light for cattleyas. My daughter is trying one, so I admire hers and pray for it. LOL! Which ones did you get?
