My new Additions...

[JennS]

I just wanted to share my 5 newbies that I added to the collection this Saturday. Given more $$ I would have gotten a ton more, but of course, funds are limited.

Anyway, I shouldn't be sad as I got some new gorgeous babies... There was a big sale (and still going on until Sunday) at Tom Ritter orchids. So, I got some really good deals, but still spent more then planned!

No pics yet, but here's the list:

1. Phal. Violaceae 'Borneo' $12.50, but got overcharged at $17.50 and didn't realize till later
2. Neo. Falcata $12.50
3. V. Robert's Delight (red spot) $5.00 (not blooming size yet)
4. V. Denisoniana x Asc. Peggy Floo
AND....(drumroll please) my new favorite....
5. Trichoglottis Brachiata (in bud some blooms open, and smells delish!) $35.00

I decided to try my hand at my first mounts (already had some cork on hand) and mounted the Neo and the Phal. I had to remount the Neo. last night because I thouglt I might be strangling him. I think he was fine, but it was fun to try my hand at it again. I think I got him a bit better situated this time. Anyway, just wanted to share in my new joys. Will take some pics and post soon in the appropriate place!
