Maria's SBOE picks for October. :)

[peeweelovesbooks]

Maria just placed her October SBOE order!!!!

Here are the beauties joining my collection in late October:


Laelia anceps var. delicata 'LASCA' at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate


And.....


Laelia Stirling Dickinson at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate



I needed something in pink. I'm in a pink kind of mood. I plan to make serious inroads into my species collection next year, especially with Laelia superbiens/Schomburgkia superbiens or whatever they are called. I'm almost done with the Laelia anceps.

Enjoy peeps!

That Maria is quite a woman!
I'm glad to see you get along so well with her!

Maria, you and your Laelias make me want to rush out and buy some LOL. How many of these plants have you bought in the past six months, anyway? It seems that every time I see you, you have a new Laelia.

Nice picks! When 'LASCA' blooms I would be interested in knowing how large they are. Love the color.

I....wish I had money.


Love that Laelia hybrid!!! Gracious, what a pristine pink. I don't normally like pink, but that is lovely.
