They have beautiful orchids there and a nice selection.

Well, yes and no.
I don't think I have seen any of the phals were labeled.
I have bought or seen quite a few oncidiums and dendrobiums with labels though.
Now that Christmas is over, I think I want to go and see what's in. hopefully all the poinsettias are replaced with some beautiful orchids. not that I don't like them, but the season is over, you know.

Mine is also spiking at the moment. It's a first time bloomer for me. I can't wait to see the flowers! I've only seen them on pictures so far.

Yeah, they are usually quite big plants.
The one posted in this thread is very small, yet produce some very nice flowers with good count. hence, it's a keeper!

Sometimes.
I wish the meeting was held more often, but everyone's busy I guess.
So, I do try and keep the "castoffs" until I can bring them to the society meeting, but not everyone makes it.
