Our trip to Phelps Orchid Farm today

[cb977]

We (Laura, Linda/catlady and myself) visited Phelps Farm Orchids for the first...and most definitely NOT the last..time this afternoon.

First let me say that Paul and Trisha are really cool to hang out with...we were there for about three hours!
The time really just flew by with us shopping, talking, learning and laughing.

We recently had a thread here on OB regarding beautiful Phals that were more money than I usually spend on a chid ($75.00). I told my hubby about it and he said he would actually prefer me to buy better plants at a higher price IF that would make me stop bringing home 19 at a time : I do not always buy that many

So, my new mission is to limit myself to (his words) two or three really nice plants...and was extremely happy to find some beauties at Phelps

I came home with these three:

Bro sanguinea 'Star Splash' x sib (in bloom)
Dor pulcherrima var coerulea
and one from my wish-list which I love more every time I look at...Trigonidium egertonianum (in bloom)

Paul and Trisha gave us each a really beautiful little Bc Bill Worsley as we were leaving.

Another great day spent with friends...life is good
