Spring Haul

[Ross]

I have been resisting doing the "Look what the mail brought me" type post, but I received two boxes today from two very good dealers.

From Andy's I received 4 mounts: Phalenopsis chibae in bloom, Dendrobium unicum in spike (I have been eying this guy for over a year ), Angraecum erectum (a really big plant and mount) and Angraecum scottianum. Neither of the Angraecoids are in spike/bloom - it's too late for that.

From Mountain Orchids I received Dendrobium prentice, which went down to the tank (a really tiny orchid); Masdie Sunset Jaguar 'Regal Cat' and Masdie Sunset Jaguar 'Psychedelic Sunset'. I hope to keep the Masdies doing well as the summer temps tend to stay in low 80s as a high (we're still in high 60s-low 70s right now.) Winter temps drop below 60F every night. Both Masdies are in full bloom, multiple spikes, with more spikes coming along.

These are two highly respectable companies that I recommend.

Nice haul, Ross.

Your Den unicum brings back bad memories. It was one of the first orchids I bought and I had no idea about growing it. It arrived in bloom and was so cheerful looking. I felt so bad when it lost all it's leaves. I knew nothing about it's growing habits so I thought it died and threw it out.

Live and learn.
