OMAHA NE ORCHID SHOW! (My orchid adoptions)

[Tim P.]

So, we all know how this goes... I went into an orchid show for the first time knowing I specifically wanted a white catt. and I was going to get a few others that peaked my fancy. At the end of the day, evolution allowed orchids to grow legs and find their way into my car. The perfume that followed contributed to my thinking it was their way of snickering amongst themselves "ha ha... hes got us for life now".

Well the damage is that I got a full sized catt, Catt. Swingtime 'Dancer'. Also a mid sized red. A nobile dendrobium and also an inter generic (not to mention the cymbidium let me know if you want names as I dont have them memorized right now.

Here is my private orchid show! Lemme know what you think!

Side note, any tips on the intergeneric and the Nobile?

That's quite a show you have going on. Like them all, especially the white catt. Fabulous!

Beautiful plants! Nice buys!

Very nice adoptions!

Is the white one with the yellow center and purple edges a Phal of some kind? Really like that one!

Gorgeous!
I'm terrible with intergenerics. But the few I have like smaller media. And appreciate being evenly damp.
Not wet. Not dry. Just nice and moist.
Bright light.
The nobile. I prefer a chunky bark mix. Stop fertiliser near the end of summer.
And give a cold dry rest.
Or just dry, or just cold.
It really doesn't seem to matter as long as they get rest.
Resume normal watering and fertilizing in spring when you see flower buds or a new cane.
I keep mine in full sun. And water daily during the growing season.

This isnt a technical answer... but they are orchids that are essentially crossed with oncidium or close to oncidium.
