They haven't arrived I knew I shouldn't have returned to the 'affliction' of growing orchids LOL. I'm getting these :-
1 x Dtps. Chain Xen Pearl
1 x Bl. Morning Glory 'Valentine Kiss'
1 x Slc. Hawaiian Splash 'Lea'
1 x Lc. Hauserman's Gala 'Z1164'
I've taken the vertical blinds off of my kitchen window to make room for hanging these. I have another 13 coming over from California in the last week of May. I think I need to extend the house...lol

aww - well, it's tomorrow already for you, so hopefully your new orchids have arrived!
Yeah - I know the feeling about needing to extend the house or something

The suspense of waiting for an order to arrive is deadly!

Any news yet?
Are you getting the Dtps in flower? Would love to see some pictures if it is - It's one that I would like as well and was thinking of having it as a travelling companion if the project plant comes from somewhere that has it!

Yes, especially since it usually means that to sate the craving, you have to go and order more while you wait...

LOL, too true! I ordered 2 orchids off ebay this weekend, and while paying I made the mistake of looking at the seller's new listings. So I thought "might as well get one more while I wait" Which is silly logic since I'll get it after the first 2!
Kelo, Have they arrived yet? I love my mailman, he usually comes before 9am. How nice sometimes to be woken up on a saturday morning by a box of orchids!

LOL yes, this is worse than giving up nicotine! Nothing here yet but my postman should be here within a couple of hours.
I doubt if the Dtps will be in flower but that would be a definite WOW! if it is. I looked online for pics of it and they seem to be wide and varied so it will be interesting to find out what mine will be like.

You may be surprised, Schwerter is very good at surprising me with spikes or blooms, even if it says 'not blooming' on the website. Heck I even had a supposed 18months from blooming phal arrive in spike!
