I'm on Lake Erie, sorta in the middle of nowhere. I'll post pictures for sure, when they decide to flower. The Potinara's are pretty small, I think it will probably be a couple years before Egyptian Queen flowers. They told me the Paph. Lady Roth should bloom this year, probably towards the autumn.

Looks like you picked up some nice plants Helen.

You ladies are very fortunate to live so close to a great grower - each of my purchases form them have aways exceeded my expectations with regards to service, quality and value for money.

Yes, I just realized Cloud's was in my area!!! I found out from the orchid society I just joined....Cloud's personnel were extremely helpful and very friendly. They told me that they take special care when doing mail orders to ensure TOP quality and customer satisfaction. I truly believe them...they really do care....they answered tons of questions and helped me temendously and gave me helpful hints for treating virus's, how to save a dieing orchid, etc....tremendous people! They were proud to say they are now shipping as far away as Russia. If I were any of you I would not hesitate to buy from them. I'm going back for more in a couple of months.. (can't believe I just said that!)

Happy birthday Helen! Mine was a couple of weeks ago. I'm doing a road trip on Friday with my son who also grows orchids. I'll be celebrating a few weeks late! Looks like you bought some very nice plants. My son had a Brsdm. It was unfortuately part of the great greenhouse massacre (long story). It's really fun to watch the flowers open. They slowly untwist themselves over the course of a day or so.

Barbara, I better not bring home as many plants as you did! I don't have that much room!!
