OS Haul!!!
Ahhhhhhhhh, such a nice fix I got today!  Someone from out of town visited my OS today, and she brought a ton to sell. I came home with five. . . . . I bought the following:
Cattleya NoID. I didn't notice until after I bought it that it didn't have a tag. Trust me, it was like a feeding frenzy at sale time. This one has an opening bud.
Cattleya poryphoglossa. This is such a tiny plant, and its supposed to be blooming sized with only a few more p'bulbs.
Cattleya Yellow Buttons. !!!SOB!!! THIS PLANT IS HISTORY!!! EVERY LAST PART OF IT HAS ERWINIA!!! (Or maybe a virus, I'm not to sure!)
Guaricattonia Wataru Kimura (Ctt. Chocolate Drop x Ctna. Keith Roth) This one had a bunch of growths, and one was in spike, and I think another might have a spike.
Finally, C. quadricolor. It has four p'bulbs, and should bloom of off the next or the one after that. Or maybe not, this 'chid had no roots! Oh well, I wanted to try something in semi-hydroponics, and any roots it might have had would have rotted anyways
As you can see, there is no photos. I love teasing you!!! I will update the names later tonight, and give you pictures tomorrow!
I also bought two slabs of epiweb, one for tue Encyclia, and one for the Yellow Buttons.

Some content added to original post, names added and name corrected, its Blc. Yellow Buttons.
Another update. . . The Yellow Buttons has Erwinia rot through and through, there is no saving that plant.  I feel like crying right now. Oh well, at least it wasn't months until I noticed, and it had spread to other plants. Silken, do you know the email of whatever her name was that was selling there? I hope I can get my money back.

See my PM. I'm sure it will work out with a refund.
Can someone tell me what Erwinia would look like. I bought several plants too, but they look lovely at the moment! |

Well I described it to you in the PM, but I will say it here too. The plant had a solid black area at the base of one of the p'bulbs, and a few black spots on a few others. The best way to find out if it is Erwinia is cutting through the rhizome. Infected areas will have a purple ring around the rhizome. That is also a good way to tell how far it has spread, keep cutting p'bulbs of until you get a clean rhizome. Erwinia starts at the base of the plant, such as the rhizome or the roots, and then will spread through the rhizome, and then eventually up the p'bulbs. |
