Shopping spree time
Pop Quiz--
You have this list:
http://www.orchidweb.com/plt_spk.asp
And you may purchase 2 plants (excluding the $10,000 besseae). No cold growers or anything overly diffficult/suicidal.
What do you do, what do you do?
(answer quickly, as I'm probably placing my order tomorrow) |

Scott, how is this.........I know it's more than 2, but I could never buy just 2! 
1) Phal. venosa -Red Form-
2) Phal. Penang Ruby (Betty Leong x violacea)
3) Paph. Kevin Porter (bellatulum x micranthum)
4) Paph. Estella (fairrieanum x godefroyae leucochilum 'Cabernet Splash')
6) Oncidium ornithorhynchum
7) Cattleya maxima ('Super Max' x 'Maxed Out')

Well, I ended up going with:
Haraella retrocalla (odorata)
Masd. Snow Cone
Main reason is I don't have anything like either of them! We'll see if this whole "warm-tolerant" masdevalia thing is true...
pictures to follow when they arrive.

seems like you're not being helpful! 
they're expensive because they're in spike presently. seriously, don't look at the prices, just pick two. it's not that hard, is it????
wifey's dearests picks are Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' AM/AOS and Paph. bellatulum ('Dalmation' x 'Dr. Spot')...but we'll see. |

I probably have a Bllra Marfitch that I could give you for free... If I don't, somebody does, they are everywhere. Don't pay a premium for something that common. Get something from them that you can't get elsewhere.

well if you're giving plants away I won't complain! what would you recommend from the list that's a little less common, without being overly expensive or difficult to grow?
