I got my 1st orchid about 10 years ago. Killed it pretty quick! Few years went by and I tried it again. Yet another demise... Then 4 years ago I had to try it again. I neglected it(Onc. Sherry Baby) quite a bit and for some unknown reason(then) it thrived. The nursery I purchased it from was having a class on orchids so I figured I would attend. I learned a good bit. I purchased a few more plants and some books. I have done quite well since then loosing only 3 plants in 4 years(no losses last year)! I have amassed quite a collection with many different cultural needs. I have 4 separate growing areas and working on building a 1000ft^3 greenhouse. I just became a member of my local orchid society this year too. (Tidewater Orchid Society)

Welcome aboard, Orchidaholic!
A great collection, but many many different cultural needs, as you said. How do you cultivate Cycnoches? Sometimes these catasetinae are hard to grow!

Dorothy · #4 05-10-2007, 04:29 PM

We would love to see some

of your collection!

You have a Mabel Kanda! Your #51

I have new bud growth on mine but it seems to be stubborn producing a cane.

I just got it this year around Easter.

I am not sure if it is of blooming age yet?

Any hints?
