Eight new additions to my collection! - Orchid Board

gjanick2 · #1 07-20-2018, 05:37 AM

I didn't know where to exactly post this thread. I don't see a category called "showing off", so this is the best forum category for me to put this thread. I did spend the whole day 'de-mossing' and re-potting the plants so carefully into wonderful breathable plastic liners. Tomorrow my wife and I will go to our local Zhuhai flower market and purchase 8 ceramic pots so the plants look fantastic.

My orchid collection just grew immensely overnight-- from 24 plants to now 32. I have attached one pic of 7 of the 8 plants re-potted. A lot of work!

Here are the orchids purchased in no certain order. A few are in spike and one cat bud opened while I wasn't paying attention:

Den. Honey Moon 'Sweet', noid orange cymbidium, Phal. Bigfoot, Rth. Tsiku Lily 'Cumquat', Rlc. Spanish Eyes 'Gold Mine', Den. Burana Sunshine 'Blue Peony', Rth. Burana Angel 'Hsinying', Dtps. Tzu Chiang 'Sapphire', and Den. brymerianum.

All eight plants were purchased online from Chinese growers in several cities in different parts of China. It worked out nicely as every plant was carefully packaged and all very healthy!

Nice additions! Funny how orchids never seem to arrive alone, they always come in groups.

Great that several are in spike, it makes it even nicer to get new plants!

As to where to put this, there isn't really a 'best' place for showing off new purchases unfortunately. A lot of people either put it in "vendor feedback" and also give info about their experience with the vendor(s), and I've seen some in "members' displays". If you want to have it moved, let me know.

Yes, I think moving it to 'vendor feedback' would be appropriate, even though I do not mention any specific vendors. If you want, change the thread title to "buying on-line inside mainland China" or something like that. However, the eight new additions title also works. Whatever you decide! Thanks!

P.S. The plants truly are in incredible condition and much larger and closer to producing blooms than buying on-line in the USA!. I am very happy!

I think "it depends."

Any way, I saw the little chairs, like little students in a classroom. How cute!

I like the bigfoot phals. I have 2 now, a lemon-lime one and a pink one.
