Smile On my way to the bank!

So, as some of you know I being experiencing several orchid attacks, some in the same day. I had survived until yesterday!

On my way to the bank, I decided to get some lunch at the Asian market call Ranch 99. This is a plaza with several Chinese stores, restaurants and Asian Super market.

Well last time I was there, there was a lady that had a small orchid kiosk, well this is what I found my self with when I got there...(please see attached pics) It was a hall way full of orchids

I took a lot more picture, but I could only upload this. She had lots of Cats too and some that the flower looked like a snake, can't remember the name.

So... of course, I forgot about my lunch, and instead this is what follow me home, a Darwinara Charm "Blue Star" with a very sweet scent, and a Darwinara X Neofinetia "Rainbow". I lost the battle and off the wagon

Know I need to learn how to take care of this two orchids, and for that I will be needing all the help from you all.

The black spots on the plants seem to come of with a wet paper towel, so I don't think is anything bad, but if anyone things otherwise let me know.

Or course when I got home, my husband gave me the look of "no you didn't"! but said nothing. In response, I told him it was a warm up for the September orchid show in San Francisco, still he said nothing I take that as permision to bring home some more

Pretty eye candy !!. You showed great restraint. With prices like those, I'm not sure I could have stopped at 2 purchases.

Well shoot.
Do you happen to live near the same ranch 99 as me?
Please say yes!
I've never seen an orchid lady here. I dream of it sometimes though.

Oh and as for your Rainbow and Blue Star, they are neofinetia and vanda crosses. Very easy to grow, like lots of light, but less than full vandas and do better with a winter rest. Look in the neofinetia section on this forum for more info.

And if it seems too overwhelmimg, just send those babies to me!
