I haven't posted in a while, but... I went to an Orchid Show/Sale today.
I came home with some stuff. I had to make my hubby give me cash so that I could stay on budget, and when I hit the end of what was on my wish list that was available at the orchid show, I still had 20$ left, so I'm feeling pretty good about it!!!
Anyway... here are the new 'chids!
Doritaenopsis Lioulin Orange '2176'
I've wanted a Twinkle for a while. The buds were dying back on this one, so they'd marked it down to 7$. I was thrilled. I've seen these go for 30$+ on the internet and it still has a few flowers for me to enjoy and the smell... oh the smell. They need to bottle and sell this as a designer perfume. Every orchid collection needs one of these!
Paphiopedilum Kiwi Charm.
Phalaenopsis Yushan Little Amar. I know the flowers are dying back, but the roots look excellent.
And... the one orchid that I came home with that I'm not entirely sure I should have bought. Yes, this thing has a foot and a half long spike, and that black pot in the background, is this plant's temporary pot. It will keep my dogs from accidentally knocking it over with their tails.
Masdevallia Veitchiana:
My photo doesn't do the colors on this one justice. I'll try to get a better shot and I believe this bloom should open up just a bit more.
