Couldn't hold out for the WOC so I went to one of my favorite places, Duncan's Flora, with one of my favorite people, LauraN, for a "fix"...and came home with lots of goodies

Sophronitis cernua
Sophronitella violacea
Amesiella monticola (for the terrarium)
Stanhopea lietzii
Den tetragonum giganteum
Degarmoara Winter Wonderland (in bloom)
Pelantentheria insectiflera (in bloom)
and
Sc Dream Catcher (in bud)

Congrats! New 'chids allways imorove our mood!
A tip about Stan lietzei (this is the correct spelling): it needs a clear dry resting period in the winter, to bloom in the summer!

You got a nice bunch of goodies, Susanne! Good luck with the Stanhopea... I simply am not enough skilled to grow Stanhopeas! I killed several and then I quit with them!

Sue I am so jealous! I got lucky with shipping in some Phal's but then the weather got super cold and it hasn't really gotten above 30 degree's here, so I won't chance it with those temps....I so much want to place and order from Andy's Orchids as I have been admiring many of the miniature Laelia's on his website and they would be perfect for me Exo-Terra! Ugh... I am having withdrawals and it has only been a week or so!

You didn't!!!

Nice list, nonetheless! ;-) I have Sophronitella violacea, so it will be nice to compare notes with you. Good luck with the the Stanhopea! I haven't been brave enough to try one of those yet. It looks like a beautiful plant...

Ratcliffe Orchids (my local nursery) has their Christmas Open Days starting this weekend....
