Ok, admit it.....what have you bought lately 2015 edition!!

[Leafmite]

I need to get a Lepanthes telipogoniflora. I have thought about it before but I saw one at the last OS meeting and the craving is pretty bad.

My Blue Hawaii did not bloom on its last pair of growths but it is now exploding with new pseudobulbs. I am guessing that it needed a chance to adjust to the LECA and, now that it is established, it should bloom.
My other Mini Purple was a seedling and in the past ten months, has bloomed twice (first and second times to bloom). Blue Hawaii is said to be a very vigorous one that, once established, blooms easily. So....

Just how many mini Purples is there? Is Blue Hawaii the bluest? I see one on Seattle Orchids sight a corulea, how ever you spell it.

I just order 3 new orchids from them on free shipping weekend. Will tell later.

You could probably make an entire orchid collection out of the varieties (some people collect walkerianas!). 'Blue Hawaii' is an old cross made in 1965. It is probably not the best cross out there (no award) but I really love it.
I can't wait to hear what you bought!
