Birthday Orchid!

[jkt97401]

My birthday is on Saturday and I'm gifting myself a mature size specimen of Phalaenopsis gigantea! What have your gifted yourself recently?

A dendrochilum formosanum, it was in october.
But the most recent and appreciated gift is not from myself: my boyfriend gifted me an acanthephippium striatum.

My Birthday was last week and I took advantage of Andy's Orchid'd Black Friday sale and got:

Ascotcentrum pumilum
Cischweinfia horichii
Haraella odorata
Sedirea japonica
Stelis hallii
Stelis species from Mexico (unnamed)

They arrived yesterday is perfect condition! Most are in bud or bloom too

Have a happy birthday!
(and I hope yours was a happy one, too, Carrie and Jade!)

Happy birthday to you both and thank you Leafmite!

I was going to take advantage of the black Friday sale at Andy's Orchids but I was far too busy to even sit!

Funny enough, I've had two friends approach me since I posted this and they both asked me what kind of orchid I'd like for my birthday. I suppose that is a good indicator that I'm an orchid addict.... Haha

Happy holidays!
