My haul from Blooms on Broadway
So ofcourse putting me in a flower show is like taking a very rich kid to a very expensive candy store. Though my wallet suffers since I am anything but rich, I feel gitty.
I brought home the following Pluerothalids from the show, all from Andy's orchids.
Trichosalpinx patula, which is currently in bud

My first Dracula, Dracula lotax. I got it because it was so small and I figured it would do well in my orchidarium.

Barbosella cucullata, which I also got because of its size, but mostly thanks to Ron's recent Barbosela posts. I was able to split this into two plants and mount it in two spots in my orchidarium.

Nice selection, Tindo. All my kind of plants, and you'll like the Barbosella when it blooms.

Thanks Ron,
Here are the three mounted in my Orchidarium.
Trichosalpinx patula the minty green one that is hanging from the piece of wood. Took a while for me to mount it.

Barbosella cucullata, I mounted this one in two places

Nice find, I'm glad my local orchid show didn't take credit cards or I would be in the poor house
