Talking Visit to Carter & Holmes nets new plants!
Hi everyone!

My mom and I went to Newberry again so I could select some orchids as my birthday and Christmas gifts. All but the main greenhouse were closed but that greenhouse was loaded with goodies! Catts were everywhere but alas, I currently don't have proper conditions for them.

So I picked up the following:

  • Paph delenatii
  • Paph Mystic Jewel x Paph Maudiae alba
  • (Phal Hawaiian Clouds x Shirane) x Phal Florida Snow 'Breckinridge'—I got this in a 6" pot for $15 It's HUGE! Leaves more than a foot long.
  • Dtps Newberry Parfait 'Picotee' w/ a spike
  • Dtps Sogo Manager 'Newberry Sunshine'—Two nice spikes developing!
As always, Mac Holmes was very helpful. We talked about my current growing conditions and what would do well. Alas I wanted a few that won't do well for me but at least I didn't give myself the frustration of trying to grow what won't. It was a great trip and I wanted to share!

My husband forbids me from going there with a credit card. Cash only! He's a wise man.

My sister used to live near there Elena. My mother used to bring me back some baby orchids from C and H when she would go south to visit. I have them to this day. I believe you could say that my mother and C and H started this "addiction"!

Sounds like you got a really nice selection. I hope they do VERY well for you. I am looking forward to seeing photos of your plants and blooms!!!!

So Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!!! May your New Year be a wonderful one, as well!

I've been tempted to take a detour to the ATM but that wouldn't be good for my marriage, KWIM?
