A few new blooms

Beautiful

Just love the dark ones. I don't have one, but I think it won't be long before one arrives at the door.

Where do you purchase yours? I really like the suks

A few different places, basically every time I see something I like, I grab them.

Jolly Holiday and some of the vinis were bought in a store called "Orchid Man" in midtown west here.
Their main stock is phalaenopsis (great quality!). then depending on the season and availability, they have oncidium intergenerics, cattleyas, dendrobiums, and lady slippers. Mostly coming in from Hawaii.
I bought some nice plants from them this year.
They also have beautiful pots.
I should really stay away from this store.

Hi NY,
Thank you for your response.

You're welcome!

My trip was wonderful. Thank you for asking.

My plants are good.
All the orchids are alive although everyone except for a few large phals is really dry and wrinkled up. Some paphs lost flowers and buds, one cattleya lost buds. I soaked them all really good and I see they recover slowly. Dendrobiums are already all plump and wrinkle free almost!

Some dendrobiums were in amazingly display when I came in. It was such a great welcome!!!

I did lose four house plants I love though. I should have placed them at someone else's house, but didn't want to bother anyone.
The good news that three of those four are highly replaceable.

I was going to do a thread about it. Maybe I will tonight.
