Self Control While Vacation Shopping
Well, I went down to Florida for the holidays and was very well behaved. I went to Sundance Orchids in Ft. Myers. Sadly, their main greenhouse was majorly damaged in Hurricane Ian, but they were open and had a great selection of blooming plants. I bought:
-Dendrobium Salaya Candy - if anyone knows anything about this please let me know. I couldn't find anything at all, and would like to find out some background info.
-Brassocattleya Binosa 'Key Lime'
-Brassocattleya Hippodamia
-Epidendrum (Pacific Pinwheel 'Fiesta Nights' x Pacific Prince 'Good Shot') 'Chinese Red #2' - I've never had an orchid potted in soil before, so we'll see how it goes...
-Dendrobium Sherry Abe - when I got home, I found out this is half Den. spectabile, which makes sense since I have one of those, and am now just waiting the 7 more years for it to bloom...
Also bought a Better-Gro Baggie Baby Dendrobium Green Flash at Lowe's. Could be years from blooming size, and looks like it got cold damage from the weather they'd had, but it was cheap and on my wish list, so there.
