First Haul from an Orchid Show!!!!

[trdyl]

Looks like you got a nice selection. The Phal in the Asconopsis is Phal. Doris. I love Ascps. Irene Dobkins. It was a challenge to grow that I failed at. I hope you have better luck with yours.

Yup, already went all CSI on that one- I have a P. amabilis, which is basically what P. Doris is, with a little aphrodite thrown in for fun. I'm looking forward to the challenge- and hope I don't run into that mysterious death syndrome this one is known for.


Thanks for all the comments everyone. Yup, I'm already thinking of next year! I figure it's a good way to save money- waiting and preordering what I want in order to save on shipping and get quality plants.


No pictures yet. Just got a new computer, and can't find the discs for my photo editing software. Working on it!

I'd be happy to come help takeover Peterborough if someone adopts me.

Greg's a good guy and Oakhill usually gives the best bang for your buck, IMO --at least for those of us who don't live in the south where orchids are often cheaper to come by (and come buy )

..... Mmmm, I must start making plans! (And saving lots!)

General Rosie,
There seems to be a new recruit!

FYI- no pictures of my plants yet, but there is a new thread that has some great pictures from the show!
