Early Christmas surprise!
Today much to my surprise, an order of four miniatures from Andy's arrived. My husband has always been very supportive and tolerant of my orchid purchases, even goes along to Al's occasionally and took me to my first orchid show last October. I would never have expected him to order any plants for me. My daughter-in-law has some credit in this gift as well.
The new Christmas plants are:
Trichoglottis triflora, in bloom
Schoenorchis tixleri, with a developing spike
Schoenorchis scolopendria, I already have this one but this one is gorgeous
Tolumnia velutinum, a freebie with the order
Here are pictures one at a time. I'm still dumbfounded by this and informed my husband exactly where to find my list next time he wants to surprise me.

Thank you Charles and estacion, it was such a surprise. I had been wrapping packages all day and decided to take a quick nap. Our pup woke me having a fit at the FedEx truck. I found yet another box I thought needed wrapping only to see it was from Andy's and my husband standing there with this big grin on his face.
He was afraid to try and hide them and keep them alive until Christmas so lucky me, I had an early surprise. I'm thrilled!
The Trichoglottis is so cute and the flowers are teenie.
