Is this an oncidium?

[jen]

Sorry, the flowers of both have all dropped off now, they did last a good long time though....I wonder if they will bloom again this year?

[jen]

I DID hit it!!!! I bought three more yesterday! I have purchased them all on-line and am waiting for a lot of them to be delivered. I keep pacing and looking for the mailman and fedex guy....they keep running into each other in my driveway LOL. I've bought like a mountain of growing medium , pots, baskets, and everything I can get my hands on including an absolutely gorgeous red cedar potting bench that I would sleep with if I could. I've bought all these books and I'm staying up all night looking at pictures both in books and on e-bay...I'm serious, I've got it BAD!!!! I've got to get a grip. And some sleep one of these days! LOL! I don't even know when I will have any blooms, but alot of the recent purchases (the one's I havn't received yet) were advertised as either blooming size or already in spike. So now I've got to get a dig camera, hopefully some blooms, and start posting pics! Yeah!

This is not normal behavior is it?

Depends on your definition of "normal" I consider filling every nook and cranny with orchids to be normal. I also recognize the symptom of switching to miniatures and compacts just so one can purchase more plants. And then there's the terrarium in the basement under lights. If I can ever get the front room addition completed (long story) then I will have a large basement room devoted entirely to orchids under lights. There is no cure!

Yes that's normal --It's all ok!
The mailman has become family

I still can't believe you left that poor lil Paph there, Ross

[jen]

Lol By the look of the posts on the introduction board, I'm not alone in my new addiction!!

It wasn't lil. It was the most gorgeous shade of white/yellows you can imagine. Perfect condition. I pulled the clear inside pot out and checked the roots - no sign of rot. Tell you what, just 'cause it's you, if it's still there tomorrow I may pick it up just so's Sarah ("caseydoll") won't get it Maybe I'll find a spot for this homeless vagabond!

[Lagoon]

YaaaaaY!!

Hay maybe if you get that paph, I'll get a bulbo from somewhere, but no stinkers are commin' to my house
Jen, Forget the grip, It's not gonna happen - can you show us some photo's

[Tindomul]

I will take any unwanted Bulbo stinkers

hi all... just joined the o.b. and was particularly interested in jen's question about where to cut an oncidium after all its' blooms fall? i'm
hoping one of you more experienced orchid lovers could answer our question as this if my first oncidium.
