Rth. Pop City 'NN' - This was a replacement for an orchid that I purchased last year and immediately died. The vendor was nice enough to find an excellent red for me and even credited me an additional $5 towards another orchid.

Rth. Solar Flare 'Paradise' - A lovely yellow with flares. In bloom.
C. Tokyo Life - A freebie (Woot!)
Rth. Zul - A really interesting cross.
C. Circle of Life ('Hot Pants' AM/AOS x 'Sacred Heart' HCC/AOS)
C. kerrii x kerrii 'Michael' AM/AOS - in bloom and terrific!
C. nobilior v. coerulea x sib
C. quadricolor x sib
C. luteola - in sheath.
Rlc. Spanish Eyes 'Water'- a BIG bloom Orange.
Zygonisia Cynosure 'Blue Bird' - in bud.
Dendrobium unicum - because you can never have just one!
Den. brymerianum - finally I have located a mature plant at a decent price.
Den. cucumerinum - a project plant for Orchid Board.
Den. densiflorum OR chrysotoxum - He found it in the GH for me, but we aren't exactly sure which one it is until it blooms. No matter, I like them both. I don't have densiflorum and my chrysotoxum is NBS. We'll see. I got a nice discount on it.

Vanda Cherry Blossom (falcata [white] x ampullacea [china strain]) - not the usual pink kind. The china strain is yellow so the result is apricot color! Love it!

Dyakia hendersoniana - In spike! I killed the first one so I wanted to try again.
Vanda falcata ('Shutenno' x 'Koto') - got two just in case. nodding
Tubecentron Hsinying Girl - after seeing, I had to have one (so I got two).
Podangis dactyloceras - project plant for Orchid Board
Brassavola nodosa 'Remar' x 'Mas Major'
Epc. Painted Hill Star - A cross by Marble Branch that looks so interesting.

Talk about a haul!!! And I hope you have space for all of that!! I'm jealous, this is the sort of orchid show haul I dream about, but I'm too sensible of a person and am too sensible with my money.

Were all of them pre-ordered, or are there a few which caught your eye at the show directly?

Most were pre-ordered. I get my company bonus the first week in May so there is usually massive orchid buying. Last year we built the greenhouse and I didn't buy many orchids at all. Then I sold a lot of orchids that were not flourishing and made room. We also lost around a 1/3rd of our collection 2 years ago due to a heater theft in the winter. So I am replacing certain plants as I find them.

I am envious of your greenhouse. I need a greenhouse...

I ALMOST ordered from Schwerter, but then saw that Elsner had a Phal I really wanted, and ended up ordering there, which was better in the end since shipping is 7€ cheaper (I also got the package via DPD in 2 days, while with Schwerter DHL always takes a week....) Wish I could order from Nardotto again, but shipping to the lowlands is phenomonally expensive! I need to time an order with a visit to France!

Now that's a list of someone after my own heart!!!

Wow, I love that 'log' mount. It looks really neat!

[AussieVanda]

Here's mine. It's a seedling that ive decided to repot in a round vanda style pot with volcanic rock and charcoal. I've hung it alongside some of my Angraecums just for a tad bit more shade in my vanda shade house. It's subject to a morning drenching as with the rest of the chids and fertiliser regime is twice per week at half strength but as the weather cools it will end up as once per week at half strength.

Question? So you guys were talking about the difference in the ones with the yellow center. I was just looking again at J&L and they say there's has a yellow center. should I not get this one? I am still waiting because it got cold then I went to Denver and now it is snowing as we speak.

I am hoping the end of this week I will order mine. But I want to get the right one.

The one with yellow is Amesiella Philippinense, the Amesiella Monticola is all white.
