I don't post much, mostly a lurker... But today, I went ahead and spent a little and picked up some awesome new pretty things!

Little backround, not much but a little, I have 9 Phals that are all big box bought, and have had pretty good success, including all of them re-spiking and flowering over the past year. So, I decided to try some different variaties...

The first, is a Paph, the cross is: Paph Shingletown 'blushing bride' x Paph somers isle 'jewel box'
It's just beuatiful and has 2 spike and 3 blooms, one of the spikes has 2 deformed blooms, but I couln't help it and took it home anyway. I know these need more light than phals... how much light is appropriate? also, do I need to water these more often, are they supposed to stay moist?

second up... Ctna. Jamaica red x Slc. mahalo Jack
"Kat golden eye 'Carmela'" this one is coming into bloom, and is in a hanging basket... I was told for sure that this needs more sun, and definately more water... (than my phals) is there anything else that I should know?

Thrid, is a stunning phal, that an older lady was looking at... somewhat drooling, making comments on how it was a "show winner for sure" it is a Phal, and I am going to go back and get the name to be certain, but it is just the most stunning rasberry color, and it's form really is stunning! this one I think I can handle...

Here is my BIG question... the wonderful woman that owns this nursery, gave me a few cuttings from an orchid I was asking about... the Vanilla orchid. they are literally cuttings, with roots... but I'm sorry, I don't exactally know what to do with them!!!

Any help would be appreciated...

thanks!
