A few new orchids

[NYCorchidman]

from Blooms on Broadway.
There were many beautiful orchids on display and some were as expensive as $4,000!!! I think it was phrag kovachii although I'm not sure exactly what it was as it was sitting on top of a tall display table.

My main goal was to pick up some paphs from orchid zone and I did pick up two vinis and one white complex (looks the same as one of mine but a lot bigger flower).
These were quite expensive and I have to say they looked better in that dark room with lighting than they do in natural light and I got a little too excited. and one of them had these fungal spotts all over on two of the leaves which I cut off at home. didn't spot that as plants were all wrapped up in plastic and stuff. funny thing is this slightly diseased one has two new small fans with it. The other two are single growth. hopefully it is going to be fine and those spots do not come back. just finished potting them up in cocopeat for experiment.

Then I picked up yamamoto dendrobium Country Gril, one of the nobile hybrids I've been wanting to have, and finally yes!!! All the nobiles were rather a midget size (under one foot tall) and I was told that is the new trend now.
It must be quite old as I see so many canes. First time seeing spotted leaves on these hybrids, so plucked all four of them off. hopefully I don't see them ever again.

Last, I picked up one phrag hybrid from Ecuagenera.
This is quite small (barely 8 inch tall) among any phrags I've seen, and it already had two buds and lots of baby shoots, so I was like what the h... my first time trying phrag. I already heard some negative stuff about growing this hybrid including the seller herself. hmmm
