I bin a norty boy.

Ah well, it's my birthday this month so I will justify it like that.
There as a garden centre near us, and I had been pestering them to buy a few new types of orchid in. All the rest do phals almost exclusively. I had rescued some hard canes from another grower, but I wanted some other colours. So, they said they would try, but their choices were down to 'mixed dendrobiums' and they put in an order.
Yesterday I got a call, and they let me go in their storehouse and rummage thru before they were even unpacked, and so I went a little mad.

I know hard canes aren't big league, but boy do their flowers last a long time. Plus, they are a whole lot tougher than phals!
