Lovely! Rare to see in orchid greenhouse (due to size). Impossible to see in normal shops.

Dendrobium laevifolium in bloom big surprise and bonus.
Asofinetia Cherry Blossom

Hope I don't kill them.

Good choices, healthy plants. I got an Aeridovanda from 1st Rays and I love it. I also have a den laevifolium, love those. They bloom for months but they can have a dormant period, so don't think you killed it when it does that.

Have you had them long? I am starting threads about them to find out care in there proper sections. I am going to have to do the Den later as I need to get of my arss and do something. It may have another bud coming but I can't tell as this is one strange plant.

They like to stay moist, their roots are rubbery and they grow new bulbs from underneath. I got mine in bloom in Oct. It was in bloom for 5 months. It grew some new leaves, then later most of the leaves yellowed and fell off. It has 2 leaves now and is in some sort of dormancy. It's bulbs and roots are fine, I guess it will have a rest until it reblooms in the fall. Have not owned it long enough to know all, but it an interesting lil guy.

Salpistele brunnea, purchased in the recent NASC auction:

Just got some species Cattleya and Catasetum from Fred Clarke at SVO. And a seedling Angraecum sesquipedale. How could a former bio major not grow that plant?

Admittedly, it isn't an orchid, but I bought a clamp lamp for soon to be arrive lights. Only thing left to find is a scrap 2x4 or something of the sort around campus to mount it onto.

EDIT: All this talk about Mote's recently makes me feel like there may be a purchase in the near-ish future... a schomburkia grandiflora and a couple hybrids. The prices are just too tempting.

I want some more of his Catts and maybe some Paphs. Yet I wait I'm having trouble taking care of what I have now.
