Close! Jacksonville

I may have to pick your brain some on greenhouses. I'm running out of room in the house.

I got photos of my 4 blooming plants posted to My Gallery last night. I assume that NOID means a plant with no name?? I have a couple of those. The mystery dend. nobile is posted also. Maybe someone can give me a lead on the name. I asked DS at the show if he liked it and his reponse was "It's too girlie." LOL It is kind of frou frou, but I just love it. I have another dend. nobile that is about to bloom. It's called Frosty Dawn and has a white flower with an orange lip. It's very fragrant. I'll snap a pic as soon as it pops.

After I went to the orchid show I stopped by Harry & David's Country Store. They always have a nice selection from Nurseryman's Exchange. Unfortuantely after the plants stop blooming they stop watering them and they are left to die. I picked up 2 phals for $9 each that have secondary spikes going. They should bloom in a couple of weeks. Nurseryman's Exch. has quit putting the names on the plants which I find very annoying. I have no idea what I purchased but they appear to be healthy, and perked up a lot after I watered them. I like surpises.

Hi Terri, welcome to the board. I had a peek in your gallery, you have some very nice orchids, especially the phal in your avatar.

Aboard, it's great to have you here at the OB. Your new additions sound great and your on your way to having a bigger collection one chid at a time So many of us here at the OB can relate but sooner or later your orchids will be a bigger part of your daily focus. We are just happy your here and tons of information awaits, just a click away....

Hey Quiltergal and welcome!
I too have other hobbies other than growing orchids, such as eating, sleeping etc

That's real bargain. Congratulations!

Shadow it really is a great deal. They're really large healthy plants too. What more could a girl ask for!
