[(..._...)]

gloria- by the way, how long approx does it take you to recieve your purchase?

Next shipping date for clouds orchids is May 5. They ship out every monday after that. I normally get it the 3rd morning.
Paramount takes abit longer since it doesn't warm up as fast - extra 2 weeks maybe. I believe they ship put 2x per week, it takes about 3 to 4 days to get here.

excellent!!

oh! and my miltoniopsis is about to open!!! , and I am also trying to see the change in the pseudobulbs as the plants dry a bit. I think I can see what your talking about.

Also, I like the moss quite a bit . My miltoniopsis seems much happier, and my odontocidim's (the one in my display pic) roots seemed dryish/ unhappy in the bark, but seems happier in the moss. (the pseudobulb plumped back up again )

Thanks again for the great tips

Anytime I'm glad to hear it's working out for you. Some folks here grow better in bark and stick with that.
I think everyone has a media(s) they grow great in, it's just a matter of finding the right one.

LOL - Those online order forms can be abit too easy, but fun and good for the sole - just ask anyone who has ordered online

Are you thinking about doing an order, what's on the dream list?

Claudio is a great guy. He has great orchids with great prices and his personality can't be beat! A few of us from the Genesee Region Society are going to make a day trip up to see him. I can't wait!

OOoooh there are so many to choose from! I want something that I know I can keep alive then maybe a Cattleya ( I have never had one )

But I like:
-Doritis Pulcherrima
-Phragmipedium Eric Young
-Burrageara Nelly Isler 'Swiss Beauty'
-Phalaenopsis Mini Mark
-LC Puppy Love ‘True Beauty’


ohh and a side note about my odontocidium, should I let the moss dry out a tiny bit more than the Miltoniopsis? It has been 4 days since it was last watered, and is now not rly wet, but 'moist' when I put my finger into the moss.

I ordered from a nursery in SC and it was delivered to my door from FedEx.
