Now in the UK we have rip off prices on orchids, so when I went shopping this morning with a £6 voucher clutched in my hot little hand to do my food shop and I saw these for £8.99 buy one get one free![IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/775889694_5dee7b7f1b.jpg Cambria Nelly Iser (or a close hybrid)[IMG] http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1106/...0ccc642243.jpg Miltonia Red Tide, I was helpless! Ah well! Judi

Judi, your second picture very much resembles my Burrageara Nelly Isler 'Swiss Beauty' and it should be very fragrant when in bright light. You definitely got a couple of beauties.

I am tempted to go back tomorrow to see if there are any left! The question is, how do I sneak them into the house without OH noticing any new ones? Judi

Nice colours, Judi! You are rapidly increasing your collection!

PS. I find that distributing them in various areas of the house helps DH not notice that there are that many more... Plus, if you start collecting minis, you can just tuck them to the vivarium without appearing to have added anything at all! (note to self: gotta get some more minis!)
