I am in LOVE with that flower !!!! It's gorgeous the contasting colors of the lip and the sepals and petals. It's absolutely stunning. A must have !!!! Now I've got to look for it

[quiltingwacko]

Yeah. A must have is right. I couldn't stop drooling over that one. I'll have to wait for it to bloom as it is not the blooming size. I'll just keep slobbering on that picture. Orchids are like potato chips.

Must be that time of year. I have both 'Newberry' and 'Mendenhall' blooming. Newberry is a much better flower color I think.

Where can I get the 'Newberry' I've got to have it !!!!

[quiltingwacko]

Carter & Holmes have them in two sizes.

I had to have it so I did.... It's a Blooming Size plant and should be here next week. Yay

Well Roly, Yours will be blooming before mine will. I ordered the little one. Such a stunner! So you send us a picture when that beauty pops a bloom. Of course, while I was there and paying shipping anyway, I ordered one of those bare root collections. Woo hoo!

Roly and Quiltingwako, When we went to Carter and Holmes a couple of months ago, Owen Holmes showed us the parent plants for this one in the stock greenhouse....MAN!!! You wouldn't believe the size of them!!!

It's a really cool place! I'm excited for both of you...PLEASE make sure we get to see the pictures!!!

[quiltingwacko]

Oh I'll be sure to take pictures. Since mine will be so small, I am sure that will be some time from now. I'll wipe the drool off the blossom and snap a shot off. Oh orchids are so dangerous. I just gaze on a picture and look what happens...out comes the credit card!
