In another thread I mentioned that I was getting more orchids, and they arrived today!
Long story short, the first half of November was beyond shitty for me and I was such a mental mess that I ended up leaving my mounts soaking 5 days. over half have since died from rot. I was so depressed over it that I NEEDED to get more orchids!
2 of the new arrivals are replacements: Haraella odorata (with a spike nubbin) and Podangis dactyloceras.
Still it's a bit sad to see a 2 growth Podangis, when my ex plant had 6 growths, and had no less than 11 spikes last spring.
I also wanted to get a new Gastrochilus japonicus, but I removed it from the order since mine is starting to show some signs of recovering from the abuse.
The other 2 are Phal Purple Martin (has been high on the wishlist for years), and Masdie Copper Angel. The Masdie is temperature tolerant, and according to the grower it will bloom its head off and grow to specimen size quickly. It's in bark now, but I think I will move it to sphag in a clay pot.
My 'therapeutic' orchid order is here! :)
