i am rapidly becoming one myself making some mistakes along the way but learning every day!

[bellini girl]

and to the board. What types of orchids are you growing

[Pixi]

Hi Bellini,

I have some Neofenitia's, some Phaleanopsis, Dendrobium's, oncidiums, some Vanda's and one Catasetum baby that i'm hoping not to kill cause it is a FC after dark lastly i have some Cattleya but i am not doing so well with them.. so looking for ways to make them happy and not drown them or dry them out.. haven't quite gotten the hang of these plants yet!

[camille1585]

Is your FC After Dark from Claessen Orchideeen by any chance? I was just eyeing that same baby on his site this weekend.

[Pixi]

Hi Camille,

it is indeed

Claessen is bleeding me dry! haha

[camille1585]

Hahaha, me too! I'm preparing an order now and am struggling to get it down to a reasonable amount.... I think that most of my orchids come from him.

[Pixi]

What are you getting Camille?

[camille1585]

So far my list is this:

These are the ones I will get, no matter what

Phalaenopsis equestris semi-alba (to replace mine that died)
Sarcochilus Fitzhart
Renanthopsis Mildred Jameson
Dendrobium tetragonum var giganteum (also a replacement)
Phalaenopsis tetraspis ‘C1’

Then there’s the list of orchids I want, but can’t afford them all so I need to decide which to get (maximum 2, but realistically it should be just 1 more):

Oncidium Twinkle White
Oncidium ornithorhynchum
Phal Carribean Sunset x minus (though I just discovered that it’s already sold out, so one less decision to make!)
Lc. Memoria Robert Strait `Blue Hawaii`
Epc. Yucatan ‘Magenta’
Phalaenopsis Gelbieber x mariae
Dendrobium Enobi Stripe Pink Splash x Dendrobium Enobi Stripe Purple Splash

Can you tell that I haven't ordered any orchids all winter??

[Pixi]

The pink splash is awesome!! I want the twinkle light but in pink also eyed the Blue Hawaii

i want the expensive Neo and a Neostylis either a blue moon or a pink and a Lou Snearly... my list is also much longer...
