new purchases from oak hill
 

:biggrin: So excited...Just thought I'd share...My order from Oak Hill just arrived today! It's the biggest order I've ever placed (my bf is going to kill me when he gets back in town!) Lovely plants as always and great packaging!

Tolumnia Phyllis Envy 'Ruby Queen' x self
Leptotes bicolor
Encyclia bractescens
Phal. equestris
Promenaea Meadow Gold
Rodrumnia (Tol. Akeka 'Peaches' x Rrm. Orchidom Dancer)

Here they are in the holding bay.

Tol. Phyllis Envy is blooming on two spikes and the color is just gorgeous. I also can't believe how huge both the Tol. and Rodrumnia are! Have a question related to those two, but will post another thread for that.

Thanks for lookin'.

Wow, Yvan, those look really wonderful! I can see why you are so happy!! (And I'm sure your BF will understand!)

I love the Tolumnias... but I don't think they would like me!

Way to go, Yvan! Keep us posted.

Nice haul Yvan, they look very healthy

Lecent

Really nice haul, there!

Great purchase!

Very nice! Yvan...
I look forward to seeing all of them in bloom:):Tup:

Oh, NOW you did it. I was looking for another small-ish Encyclia to put with my tampense. Now I'm just gonna' have to go buy myself a bractescens. :roll: Anyone know if these would do better mounted, vs. potted? With my current setup, potted would probably be easier...

Orchidwiz says they like to be potted in undersized pots with 1-2 years room for growth. They can be mounted too but call for very high humidity and need to be watered at least once a day in summer, multiple times if in a hot location.

Oooops! I forgot you, Yvan! :blushing:

I love the plants you received...Oak Hill packages always give me a warm glowing feeling :cloud9:

Good to know. Potted, it is. Thanks! :biggrin:

You sooo SCORED!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:


But you are gonna get in troubbbbllllle with your BF! Isn't it fun?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Edited to add: You can always do what Shannan does. . .just kind of clean up and move plants around, regroup and tuck the new ones in. When asked about the growing jungle, just IMPLY that it's just more growth. . .ie: Aren't they doing well?

Or my personal fave: Say nothing but when asked if these are new ones (it will inevitably occur) Oh, no I just brought these home from work, think they need a little more light.

*snark*

I'll have to remember these ideas! For when someone creeps in, don't you know!

Thanks, Gwen...I dunno if those will work for me?!

I do freelance work from home, and I dunno that I have enough orchids to pull the first one.

Trouble? ...Yes. Fun? ...Absolutely!

This is what friends are for. . .we're here for ya! You'll have enough. . .ur, well more than enough really. . here shortly.
