Feeding the Beast Within
The title is the name of a section in my audio discord where we post our new acquisitions. I thought it fitting, since the music habit and the orchid habit are virtually the same. Here are the new plants I got at our recent show and sale.
Encyclia bractescens
Den. cruentum
Bc Yellow Bird
Tolumnia Jairak Rainbow
C. walkeriana 'Midnight Blue' x C. intermedia 'Blue'
They also had the opposite cross.
Lc. Fire Dance 'Patricia'

Fred Clarke sent out the summer catalog and the beast reacted! Two new catasetums. I'm hopeless.
Don't be shy, gang. Let's see those new plants! |

New aquisitions
Well, I've been misbehaving and my fingers won't stop clicking on offerings online!
This week it was: Coelogyne rochussenii, Coelogyne 'Unchained Melody', Stanhopea reichenbachiana ’Eve’ x tigrina ‘Glory of Mexico’, and Stan oculata. I need my head examined!

All very nice!
I did a few orders a couple of weeks ago. I am going to pretend that it was just a few plants....

I visited a local society member's greenhouse recently and spotted a small Sophronitis (Cattleya) cernua that she was having some trouble with. I'm a sucker for ailing miniatures, so I asked how much. I bought the plant with the intention of picking it up later. When I went to pick up the plant, she had four more waiting for me. The only issue with them was culture. Some didn't like the heat, which wasn't something she could change.
So now, aside from the cernua, I am owner to
Laelia itambana x briegeri
L. briegeri 'Ochid Eros Flare' x 'Palila' AM/AOS
C. wittigiana
and a noid cattleya which the tag was misplaced. Hopefully, we can ID it when it blooms.
I'm hopeless, I tell you!

Enc bractesens is a very good choice. I've had mine for more than 15 years. Grows in a wood slat basket, never transferred. When it grows it moves laterally so my husband adds slats to only the top of the basket. it takes hot to very cool temps, tolerates being left dry for days, and gives a show late spring/early summer like a mobile or chandelier. I'm sure you will grow to love yours.
Cheers,
Maryanne
