Default Great day at the Orchid Nursery

Boy, did I have a great day yesterday. My hubby and I drove north to Minnesota to a orchid nursery. I got 8 plants. Here are the eight with pictures: Isabella virginallis, Jumellea comorensi, Leptotes unicolor, Onc. onustum, Podangis dactylocer, Psychopsiella limminghei, Sehoenorchis fragrans and Sophronitis cernua. Then we stopped at my favorite cross stitch store and I got two patterns that I wanted. We also stoped at a casino and I got a coffee and a danish from Starbucks. Boy, what more can a girl ask for!!

Very nice selection.

I can see that size does matter!

I love those last three. I have the last two, and am missing the first of the third Psychopsiella limminghei. I have never heard of it. Very nice collection!

Very, very nice! What a great day out! And every time you look at these plants, you'll be reminded of it.

I have been looking at getting an Isabella - now you've tipped the scales and I'm going to add it to my next order. And that Psychopsiella is super!

Really great additions to your collection.

Very nice collection. Glad to see folks moving over to mounted minis. The club keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I am always on the look out for the unusual and it has to be small. The Isabella and the Psychopsiella limminghei really fit the bill. I am very happy with my new plants.
