Paraphalaenopsis denevei
 

I'm pretty excited.

When I joined this board a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I hoped to find Paraphal. denevei. Some years ago I had two of the plants, but a spiteful ex- sadly did them in, and I've been looking for the plant haphazardly since. In fact it was on a recent search for the species that I came across this board!

Anyway, Dorothy, one of our SuperModerators, suggested that I try Dowery Orchids for the plant. Dwayne there quickly replied that he'd just gotten some in, and was acclimating them before selling. Today I got his new list in email and immediately sent an order off to him, and will soon have two beautiful, new plants.

Congrats!! Can you post pics when you get them? Can't wait. :)

I look forward to the photos :banana:
I'm so happy you found it :nod:

Yes, I'll absolutely post photos, though I doubt either will bloom at least until next Spring. :)

Dorothy, once again I send you my thanks.

I'm so glad that you found the plant! Make sure you post some pics when you get it!

Isn't doro super duper! :biggrin:

John - you are most welcome :)

I've only "known" her for a couple of weeks through this board, but I'd have to say that, as the person who helped me find these plants after several years of looking (haphazardly, I'll admit) I consider her to be a very special person indeed!

:blushing: Aw gee.. :thanx:
John and Tash - You both made my day! ;)

My Paraphal. denevei plants arrived today from Dowery Orchids. Wow! It's so nice, after a LOT of years, to again have this species in my home. To my eyes it is the most exquisite of all of the Phal. alliance! Neither plant is in spike, but both are very healthy and arrived in excellent condition. I think it goes without saying that when they do bloom I'll post pictures.

And as a PS, I once more want to thank Dorothy for pointing me in the direction of Dowery. I wouldn't have these new lovelies were it not for her!

HI,
So happy to hear you found your plants! I'm awaiting photo's too!
Yes, Dorothy is one super person, we all love her. How could you not?

Al

I look forward to the day it blooms :nod:
Congrats again! :clap:
Again, you are welcome :bowing and Thanks Al ;)

I agree, Tindomul. Dowery will certainly see more business from me in the future.

What fun to see someone else not only in love with denevei, but happy with Dwayne and his wonderful plants! He knew I was trying to find denevei (again) to complete my quartet, and emailed me as soon as these came in. He's hoping to have some more maculata var flava, but none this time. But he made up for it by sending me a thalebanii in spike, as well as a speciosa also in spike. It's hard to resist his wonderful things!
