Hello

[ChrisFL]

I have 5. Yep, 5. All but one are seedlings. I have 1 Lowe's $5 special Lc Goldigger 'Fuch's Mandarin" that is putting out new roots like crazy. I also have a cross that has never been made/bloomed before as far as the local growers can tell (C. Tripp Johnston x C. caudebec), also sending out some new roots lately. Then there are my two babies that I dote over. C. walkeriana v. coerulea 'Dona Yolanda' and C. walkeriana v. alba 'Lester x Walker'. All the seedlings are mounted and in a 10-gallon seedling orchidarium that sits in a west window. The 5th plant is a C. skinnerii that has been in the fam for more than 50 years.

Thanks guys! I wondered where my post had disappeared to. I'm going to work on getting my hands on a digital camera to take some photos.

cb: I'm in St. Pete.

St Pete! Wow. My Dad lived there till he moved over to Lutz a few months ago. I still have a love for Sunken Gardens.
