Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the orchid craze, but already have a small collection. I'm moving from Brisbane to Townsville for university next month however, and I'm wondering if I can take my orchids into that kind of climate?
I currently have;
1. Enc. Cindy tampensis
E tampensis X E alata
2. EPC.
EC el hatillo x ENC cordrgreene
3. Dendrobium Hoshimusume ‘haming’
Den. Oriental Paradise x Den. Otohime
4. BLC. Topaz love
Lc Mari's Song 'CTM217' HCC AOS x Blc Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM AOS
5. Phalaenopsis (unknown, fairly generic)
6. Dendrobium Speciosum
7. Dendrobium (unknown, possibly Dendrobium bigibbum, kingianum)
8. Oncidium sphacelatum
Townsville stats as follows:
