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!! |
