Got my Hawaiian Orchid shipment today from Kawamoto orchids

[Dr. Dave 4u]

Last year I bought Vandas in spike from them with great success.

My four orchids delivered by fedex express today.
They were really super well packed and protected.
I'm very happy with them and to my eye they look healthy.

Now I just have to try to keep them alive and maybe thriving in my growing conditions.

Renanthera Klasom Red dragon
Psychopsis (Onc.) Mendenhall 'Hildos' FCC/AOS
Zygopetalum Advance Australia 'Blue Velvet'
Mokara Full Moon 'Yellow' Vanda

I had to hold back and not overbuy!!!
Yikes!!!

Nice haul!

I forgot whether you have a light setup. The Renanthera and Mokara need far more light than can be provided naturally during a winter in New Jersey. Both can grow outdoors in full sun all day in places like Singapore.

Your right Estacion!
Now that will be my challenge!!!

Now that you have me thinking about this, I do also have a few 2 year old rooted plumeria cuttings which I hope to have enough sun this summer that I might get flowers...I heard it takes a few years to establish these...something about the trunks/stems need to become woody before they will bloom...

Plumerias... search the Totally Off Topic forum for them. You can flower them. They love summers outdoors in the sun. Be careful moving them outdoors in spring so they don't sunburn before they become adapted to the sun.
