Okay, these are the last NoID:s

[The Mutant]

I went to prepare for the chid invasion that will take place later this week (all of my orders have been shipped... ALL OF THEM! I will drown in orchids!) and bought some bark that will most probably be needed as well as some pots. I went to the same place where I purchased my four mini Phals (of which one is struggling at the moment) and to my delight/horror they had gotten a new shipment of small wonders and I happily grabbed two of them, one that looks a lot like a Dtps. Sogo Gotris, and the other one looks like another hybrid whose name I can't remember at the moment.

Not only did I get these two highly unnecessary NoID:s, but I also managed to get hold of the person responsible for the orchids. She agreed to help me to try and find out the names of these two as well as the three I haven't been able to ID from my previous purchase (got one ID:d). I really like it when one run across other enthusiastic people!

Here are pics of my newest additions, although only one of them has a spike since some idiot managed to drop one of the bags with bark in it, on top of the other. Lucky me... I mean the idiot in question, I chose this particular plant since it had a new spike growing as well as the old one.

The Dtps. Sogo Gotris wannabee does have a basal keiki, and I got a bit worried about that since it can be a sign of something being wrong with the plant, but when I re-potted them I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

HERE are the pics, sorry about that.

Oh my! They are gorgeous though, and what's two new orchids in addition to... HOW many?

MORE????
And you should know better than to use the word 'last' in the same sentence as orchid/noid. But I suppose what you really mean is that they are your last Noids until the next ones?

But in your defense, they really ARE gorgeous!

those are what I call perfect plants...from roots to leaves to blooms...if by chance they have imperfections it blends along to the beauty of it all

Not that many...yet. With these two I now have 32 orchids. Wait till the end of the week and we'll see how many I have then!

Exactly!


But hopefully, they won't stay NoID:s for that much longer.

Do you even have any idea how many orchids are on their way to your house right now? 20? 30? 40? 50?

Very nice additions, beautiful blooms, and look at those healthy roots!
I doubt they are the last ones. After all , you can never have too many orchids.

No... I'll have to check, hang on!

Two arrived today from Orchideen Lucke, let's see how many I'll get from the other vendors.

Schwerter:
13

Elsner:
7

Popow:
6

Orchids by Peter White:
2

Asendorfer Orchideenzucht:
3

So, I'm expecting, all in all, to get 33 orchids this week!


In May I will get more, at least eight more that I've ordered and payed for, also, next week I will get another two since I've added two Phals from Popow, for a friend that will pay for them in one equestris keiki and one Paph. villosum.

Man I'm SERIOUSLY going to drown in orchids! Lucky me I'm going to give five of the older ones away.

No more buying in other words!

I agree, but *coughs* I'll be swamped in orchids now!
