I have faith in you, Bolero. You'll soon be looking for where you can fit the next one.

Great start! Have fun filling up.

Wow, nice haul, Bolero! Great not to be worrying about space. I feel guilty if I bring home four plants at one time! Seventeen would be pretty exciting.

Nice haul. Bummer that you have the horrid job of trying to fill your orchid house with orchids. I feel for you!
I'm just kidding....you know that, don't you!

3 more plants arrived today as well. Separate order but they are unfamiliar to me:

2 x Slc Duckitt Ruby
1 x Phal gibbosa

Hopefully they go well in my collection.

You are going to love this plant. H&R has this HUGE 4N amethystoglossa that wins every show its entered in the spring (I saw it last week) and Im assuming that it is one of the parents of this guy. This year there was a 'normal' size amethystoglossa that was next to the 4N and it was like comparing a Soph. cernua to a big Catt. labiata or something equally big. Both the size of the flowers and the plant itself were far and away in a different class. I predict good things for this plant of yours!!
