Did someones little butt get a spanking....hee....hee....hee. I am having much success with my paph's and I just love them. I'm trying not to get too many new ones because there are a couple of ones I am going to have to have. I do want to get some of the other colors of equestris as I love them and maybe another Mannii the dark one. I have always had good luck with those 2 species for some reason.

Now I am trying to work on my Catts as I had killed all of mine and I also love these, but all the ones I have now I haven't even had a year. Want more phrags and paphs before I go to any others. Oh I forgot to mention I am getting to wanting very badly a Cym.

Isn't it wonderful there are so many different kinds for everyone. What works for one doesn't always work for the other.

I have a warm growing cym right now w good results. Thus far had it almost a month. I am praying my sister gets the warm growing cym. I requested for Christmas. But since you live in a cooler growing environment you can grow the really awesome ones!

Well I am hoping so. My house does a wide range of temps however. It will go from low 60's or even into the 50's to when the sun is shining into the 90's in the windows.

I will see one of these day's but I may wait till spring or summer. I am making myself go slow.

It's funny I was just at the garden center the other day looking for seaweed extract, since you all rave about it so (they didn't have any), and since I was there I asked if they had any orchids. She said they had just gotten a whole bunch of new ones in and pointed toward an area entirely of phals.

She must have seen the look of disappointment on my face because she asked if there was a certain one I was after. I told her I really liked bulbophyllums and angraecums. Safe to say I'm the only orchid nut in my area because she said I was the first person to ask for an orchid that wasn't a phal.

I have some really crummy garden centers around me. This place didn't even have superthrive, seedling mats, nothing! I went home without any of the supplies I wanted.
