My trip to Cloud's Orchids!!! I'm hooked!

[Barbara]

Looks like you were almost as bad as we were. We (sister, mother and I) have been there twice this year already. Will need a greenhouse soon if we keep this up. Brs. Eternal Wind is very nice, I think they had it in bloom when we were there last month.

Yes, the Eternal Wind 'TOW' on display is a first bloom.. I was so happy to get an LS with a spike! How far away is Cloud's from where you live? (if you don't mind me asking)

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.

great, I'll keep an eye out for them...hopefully my Brassia will bloom soon...I don't know how long it takes for a spike to finish up, but I have to be patient....gotta keep it alive first....hee hee...nice talking to you.
