New to the orchid board. Hello everyone!

[Ross]

Yup!

[Orchidaholic]

Wow. Glad you all liked my collection list! I'll try to respond to everyones comments...

~~~Djarum Black~ I keep notes/records on the computer along with a paper trail of my collection so No I didn't have to type all that!

~~~Frdemetr~ The Cycnoches was a single back bulb cutting someone gave me. It's not BS yet but trying to gett it there. I grow it in my warm miniGH in an east window suplimented with a 37W CFL. Planted in sphag adn watered heavily when growth appears. in november I pull it out of the pot and clip the Psb to a bloom spike of whatever is in bloom so I dont forget about it. Once the roots are about 2 inches long(mach/april) it goes back into sphag and watered weekly for a month. then it gets the monsoon treatment.

~~~Dorothy~ I got this plant 4 months ago in a sun bulb co. bag in 3 in pot. Havent seen it bloom yet but I think they are forming. It went outside today to get some filtered sun cause I love the purple leaves it has when it's being blasted by the sun! 2 Psb's have a sheaths and one has a shadow in the sheath so I'm crossing my fingers! For some kinda culture that may help you, It loves lots of light and intermediate temps. While in growth it loves water. I water twice a week in the miniGH or 3 times a week when it goes outside spring-fall. Once a week in winter. Don't quote me or anything since its a newbe to the collection but thats what I do ith the rest of the Enc~Epi.

~~~Rsfrid~ thank you and I want to be everyones buddy and get as much knowledge as I can from you all cause I'm deffinatly no expert!

~~~Lagoon~ Don't have any yet and don't know if I ever will. If I started anywhere it would be with the Cypripedium's. My parents just purchased a new plance in glouster VA and they have 7 plants of Cypripedium reginae. Told them to call me when they bloom so I can go there and polinate them to get some seeds. Also a new developement is marked for clearcutting down the road from them so If any of these treasures are growing in these areas, well their coming home with me!

~~~Restrepia~ Thank you !

~~~Justatypn~Thank you*blushes*. I haven't even shown my list to my society members yet! lad I didn't cause 66-72 were from our society 's purchased plant auction this past sunday! All 7 for $141, what a deal!

OK, OK, I think I recognize the second to last photo. I think I had one of those in bloom recently Miltonidium Issaku Nagata. Am I right? Did I win? Wonderful display.

[Lagoon]

Holy!!!!!! Very nice indeed, so many orchids in blooms, colorful world - Beautiful

Nothing wrong with Reginae's you should get some
Thanks for sharing your photo's

[Frdemetr]

Great pics! You do a hard job with cycnoches, hope it rewards with a spike soon!

[Dorothy]

Is the First photo a Bllra? and the second the smile again?
Thanks for all the info ..I will consider all the things you said!.. I have my epi in direct light in a western window .. it seems to like it there ..! I found if I watered too much the pseudobulb got a little mushy so I keep it to about once a week .. now the bulb is firm again! ..

That a cool collection! Welcome to the Orchid Board. Don't forget to put you orchid list in your profile so everyone can see it.

Or is the first a oda. lovely penguin 'fides'.
I saw that one today as there were a few plants that looks a bit different with the same name ..
I almost got the the one with more coloration
but I resisted!

[Dorothy]

The second is oriental smile 'fantasy'? ..
Do you happen to have a photo of
Dend Antennatum X Dend. Carroni
I so want an antelope
and wondered what this cross must look like?

Sorry for no ID per pic and the poor quality. They were taken from my phone cause I spend too much on the orchids to afford a nice digital camera! From the top...
