A Couple of New Additions
I discovered that there was an orchid show near here this weekend (The Heart of Dixie Orchid Society Show) so I went over to check it out yesterday. I got a helpful handout on orchid names, met some very friendly members of the orchid society, and saw a lot of beautiful orchids. The number and variety of orchids was so overwhelming to a beginner like me that I almost didn't get anything. I got over that feeling quickly though. I planned on buying one new orchid, something different from what I already have, but ended up buying two baby orchids. On the left is a mounted Angraecum leonis. That was the first one I chose because I decided I wanted to try a mounted orchid. The one on the right is a little Sedirea japonica that had just finished blooming. I added it at the last minute when I smelled the bloom on another one. I must have been in the mood for orchids with white scented blooms this time.
