Greetings from Australia
Hi
I am new to orchids, over the last 6 months I have gone from 0 to 13
Picked 12 up at a gararge sale for about AUS$5 each
They rang from 10cm to a couple of 25cm pot sizes. They are looking healthy but probably wont be a coupel of years before they flower

I know what kind they are bit I can't think of the name, they didn't come tagged because they were seperated from bigger ones.
They are the bigger stemmed flowers with the long sord like leaves.
I think the flower colours are white, pink and green but know idea which one is which

Maybe if you look through some of the photos in the galleries, you might remember the kind you have - like I said a photo will definitely stir some interest.
12 orchids in one shot .. yep, you have been bit  |

For one of these orchids at a nursry here the average price is about AUS$50 each for to get 12 for less then that we would have been idiots not to get them all. I will take a photo of them and post them up.
Do you know much about Dendrobium kingianum.
I have a post under Beginner Q's about my sick looking one
