Default A Generous Soul
Glen Gary read one of my inane posts regarding my fear of growing Paph orchids because I was scared I might kill it...He told me to man up and get one; in fact he said he is willing to mail me one...and in the process of our exchange emails...he just sent me not one but two paphs! and several other goodies! Aint he just the cool guy that he is??!!
Heres the haul he sent!
CORRECTION:
*the barefoot plant in the plastic pot is Dendrobium Red Emperor
The one labeled IMG 1242 is Dendrobium aphyllum

They look great!
I have to agree - Glen rocks! A few months ago, I had asked him about one of his plants, and he very kindly offered me a division, and a couple other divisions and a couple of keikis tagged along for the ride

We are very fortunate to have Glen share his orchid growing experience with us, and to be so generous sharing plants, as well!

Have fun with your new orchids!

WhiteRabbit we share the same sentiments. Ihave never been given such precious gifts in my life. I am overwhelmed with Gary' s generous kindness.

Wow, what a nice man!

I see one of them is Paph. Frank Smith ( Norito Hasegawa x rothschildianum ). It is a fantastic plant.

Naoki, it started with just that one: Paph. Frank Smith...then it became six plants and some barks for my mountings too
