Summer is almost over
Hello everyone... It`s been a while... and I`ve been quite busy...
Knowing summer is almost over and could`nt enyoyed it because of my work, I`ve decided to pass my frustration by adding to my collection:
Phal. mariae
Phal corningiana
Phal amboinensis
Phal kunstleri
Kingidium deliciosum
Dendrobium trigonopus
I think I got overboard but I`m worth it ! :-)

Orchid buying to cure frustration - excellent! Here are a few of my favorite reasons to add to my collection:
- woke up....
- thought about orchids.
- spoke to someone about orchids.
- read anything about orchids.
- received an email from grower's updated online catalogue.
- ate breakfast while thinking about orchids.
-......and the list goes on thru the day until I close my eyes a dream about buying orchids!
Nice selection of plants. What was your source of those phals?

I went on an orchid shopping spree and have purchased a Cochleanthes marginata and candida, and 4 phrag hybrids. I'll post them once they are delivered
Dave W - what grower is updating their online catalog ?

Nice selection Claude, be sure to post some pic's when you have time. I understand about that time issue perfectly since I'm holding down 2 part time jobs at the moment and watering my orchids as much as they need is getting very problematic.
