New Vandas!

LOL, I was just kidding about the size of your hands. That flower is awesome and the price for that plant is good, especially when I convert dollars to euro's heh.

the store is on E colonial... past fashion square mall, further east... past the best buy... u should see a white sign that has red lettering: roses and orchids
... pretty sure its before colonial hits simoran...


and stefpix, very true.... would love to see the kinds of stores other people visit... that would make an interesting group. ill go back (possibly today) and see if i can get some pictures of her and her store... really was an interesting set-up... nothing as fancy as Smiley, but cool none the less..

blueszz: hahaha thanks, still determined to more accurately show their size though!! hah... and i bet! the conversion is nuts now

Lovely flowers, big and the petals are wide without any gap from one another. I wish I have them too.

BTW Hirschy, if you post some photos, please arrange them accordingly. I have to turn my notebook to the left or right to see the pictures properly.

As far as I can tell (via RHS), these are as yet unregistered hybrids. Also, I could not find Tanarak; did find Sirilak and Sirisak, not Sirirak. It would be helpful to you (if you want to register the hybrid yourself) to see if woman can help you find who made these crosses and confirm spellings (not an easy task).

In any cases, looks like you have some robust plants! What a great find.

[Hirschy]

could be spelling mistakes... need to clean the tags, some letters are pretty iffy... but thank you, will for sure ask her if she can help me identify the plants and do some research myself... thank you!

here are some pics of the store.. enjoy!

WOOOWWW

I always wonder how smart it is for an orchidfreak to venture into a orchidstore 'just to look' :P. I love your lightcolored Vanda! I don't think I've seen lightcolored ones yet! The ones you get here are normally purple or orange.
And wow, that store looks amazing... How nice it would be to just have a wander thru the store!

orchids are like potato chips ... you are satisfied with just one ...
