Epiphronitis Veitchii FCC/RHS
Yesterday I took a trip out to Gold Country Orchids and got a couple of new additions: Epiphronitis Veitchii FCC/RHS. This is the first one in my goal to collect all of the different types of orchids that contain "Veitch" (or a variant since mine is "Veach" but that spelling is more common in Europe) in their name. Most of them were, of course, named by/for Harry James Veitch who is pretty famous in the orchid world. He was a distant relative of mine.
Anyway, enjoy the photos and hopefully they will thrive our here in the sunny (meaning hot) central valley of California. I have 1 of them growing outside and the other inside to see which it prefers.
