I couldn't resist... new orchids on the way, several types

[cythaenopsis]

I was chatting with a few other members and learned about a very affordable orchid website with a pretty nice shipping discount going right now ($5 flat, independent of order size). It's Jewell Orchids.

My collection is presently just two phals, and I've been itching to branch out. Here's what's coming:




The Encyclia and the Sierra Skies are supposed to be fragrant. Not quite sure about the character, though. I was going to inquire with the seller, but I had no idea about the stock so I just went with it.

I'm really amazed at the diversity in appearance of this plant genus. I can understand how some people have many dozens of them!
