Newbies
Went to the Orchid Zone yesterday - was quite an experience being at such a large nursery. I had a blast.
Came home with:
Paph. primulinum var. purpurascens
Phrag. pearcei
Phrag. Memoria Neil Mitchell
Paph. fairrieanum
Paph. victoria reginae (in sheath)
Paph. spicerianum (another lol)
The primulinum was perhaps the best thing I came home with, in terms of a 'find'. These have become very hard to come by, and there were only a few, even at this massive place. I have been looking for a along time, and already have two of the album version. The long spike is on flower #12, and #13 and #14 are developing now. This plant has another spike coming up and lots of new growth.

My favorite of these pics has to be of the paph spicerianum (hope I spelled that right). It's got character. It sort of reminds me of when my dog tilts his head to the side and gives me the, "What?" look.  |

You are the 3rd person to mention his name to me in the last week. I have his number. I'm not sure he's going to have a lot of what I want, but I will go meet him soon. Seems it's what I should do! |

I loved the Farianum. I love when they have stripes on the top part.
