Ok, admit it.....what have you bought lately 2014 edition!!

[Bulbonut]

Maybe the Capanemia will make it this time!

My mom got me these two mini Dtps/Phals today. I have the best mom in the world! <3



EDIT: Forgot the Vanda Rhynchostylus Gigantea Kartoon and Tolumnia Jairak Flyer Pink Brush.

OK so I went to the Redlands show today. It was great but it took a lifetime to get there. Damn that uncharmingly quirky Florida turnpike!!! I got a bunch of new ones, some mini and others not so mini. One of my friends was upset I bought a Lycaste since I live in south florida, but it's one of the few warm to hot growing ones so I told him not to worry about it!

Lycaste bradeorum
Oncidium hastalabium
Aerangis mystacidii
Campylocentrum colombianum
Catasetum Lovena
Kegeliella atropilosa
Huntleya meleagris
Tolumnia calochila
Ascocentrum garayi
Restrepia trichoglossa
Brassavola martiana
Angraecum eleplantinum
Angraecum leonis
Angraecum florulentum
Angraecum distichum
Aranthera Anne Black

I was looking for an Angraecum eichlerianum, and didn't find one, but I know two vendors that have them in stock back at their greenhouses. There was someone there with Angraecum aloifoliums too, the German vendor, but they were cash only and I spent it all before I heard he had them. Most of the US vendors have card swipers. If you're going tomorrow check out Andy's Orchids and Cal-Orchid. Also, Carolina Orchids was worth mentioning. He has some rare finds like a Mystacidium with triple spikes!!!

[Leafmite]

Nice choice of Angraecums!

[gravotrope]

Thanks Leafmite! Just a few more.... heh heh

Eventually I'll add the 4 on my wish list: aloifolium, birrimiense, eichlerianum, and viguieri. I already have a sesquipedale, calceolus, and didieri and the ones I bought today.

Alright, Ovanoshio, who was the vendor of the Tolumnia calochila? I have just, 5/15, ordered from Andy's and J&L, but the Tolumnia is a coveted one.

Gah, already time for another confession...I recently purchased Blc. Hawaiian Passion 'Carmela' (can't wait for the fragrant blooms) and Cymbidium Alcor (this one is in spike!). Growing a warmer growing cymbidium will be a first and I hope I can make it thrive.

Hamlyn Orchids (out of Jamaica) brought a few Tolumnia calochila, I had to really hunt around to find a nice one. They also had over two foot Aranthera Anne Black plants for $20. I got the calochila for $10 plus a fraction of the gas it took to get there and back and also a piece of the $10 entry fee (spread out across 15 plants makes it about the average price you would find for one of these online, but it was also a nice trip). The calochila's leaves are very small and look like ball moss (tillandsia) so I am not sure they would ship well internationally.

A friend of mine was selling some of his orchids and I got a sweet deal on these:


Dendrobium Antennatum


Dendrobium Hercoglossum

And:

Phalaenopsis Amboinensis x Equestris

I've wanted an Equestris or Equestris hybrid for AGES, so I'm really happy with these.

[RandomGemini]

I cannot believe what I found at TJ's!!

Miltassia Shelob Tolkien.

Been on my wish list for a while. Surprised I found one there and I'm definitely surprised I got it for 13$ and check out the size of this thing!
