Aren't you glad you ordered orchids to be delivered this week! Thank goodness.

Yesterday at a safety meeting at work, we were talking about what to do in various medical emergecies, accidents mostly. One of the topics was what to do if someone passes out or if you find someone who has passed out. There was all this talk of going to the doctor and such. . .procedures.

I turned to Diane and said if you find me passed out here at work, somewhere, head on my desk or whatever, just whisper, "Hey, look you've got a box. I think it's full of orchids!" I told her, "I'll snap right out of it." Pull me out of a coma too, most likely. . .just so you all know. Just in case.

And they say, orchids are just a hobby. I say, they are a "medical" necessity.

So, Al if you need them, they're there for you. Take two and write us Saturday morning,

Thanks Gwen, it is so true! Really, in my state of anxiety, I forgot that I have two more coming in Fri. from a friend on the Cape. (a mini Phal and a Catt) So three new ones this week! I'll be holding onto them in my mind as they torture me on the exam table! LOL

Seriously though, I hope all goes well on Friday, Al... please let us know!

I'm climbing the walls waiting for the mail.

By noon I will be waiting out by the mail box. I should get my order from NWO today. Picks will follow......if I survive the wait.

My vanda seedlings from RF arrived yesterday but for some crazy reason I'm more excited waiting for this order. This will by my first Neo and I have never even seen a Sedira japonica that I can remember.

[Grandma M]

My order arrived from New World.

Darwinia Neofinetia 'Furankohai'
Sedira japonica 'Nagoran"
Neo Gojyo fukran
Neo Shu Ten Nou

I got restless waiting for the mail man so I took this picture of my Phrag Giganteum (Grandea 'Giganteum' ('Gigantea' 4N X caudatum var. sanderae). This is the first blooming.

[Bird Song Farm]

and now it's all anti-climatic..........LOL, hope you have another order in the works!!

The Neo's look great, I love the Japanese style of potting them. Hope mine comes that way, if not, I think I will attempt it. Hmmmmmmm, must be a small bottle around here somewhere.

That Phrag Giganteum is just plain SUPER, have to try one of those but have killed one Phap and am working on the second, guess I'll wait awhile for a Phrag.
