My Haul from the OS Swap/Sale (long)

[shadytrake]

So our local Orchid Society had its annual member orchid swap/sale this past Sunday.

I had so much fun. Our members are so generous. Everyone just kept giving me stuff to try, plus I bought and traded some too.

Here is my haul with my notes so I don't have to type it twice

Phaius tankervilliae 'Chasus' HCC/AOS x self
Brs caudata var alba 'Jem' JC/AOS - $3 for a 4" pot (needs water)

And these are just the NAMED plants...OMG at the end of the day, the club needed someone to take the rest of the NOIDs as we lovingly call them. They gave me the rest which came out to about 27 orchids.

22 are Catt or Catt hybrids and 5 are Phals.

Total spent $36 by me. I think hubby spent $1.

This also gave me an excuse to tell hubby to get rid of the "other" tropical plants in the GH so we can make room for 'chids'

The Memphis Orchid Society is GREAT! Oh and I got something called an orchid cactus and some cuban oregano (non-edible). I'll have to read up on those.

All in all it was a GREAT day! Thanks for letting me brag.

Hera, come on down! Although Mempis might turn into a lake with all of the rain we've been getting this year. LOL

We are getting the rare SUNSHINE today, with a HUGE rain front coming right behind it.

All those orchids for thirty-six dollars? Sounds like a deal to me. Congrats on your new acquisitions.
