A friend bought me a noid yellow Vanda and a noid yellow Phal for Christmas. Then he called yesterday with two more noid discount Phals he had found.

"They looked so sad," he said.

I didn't want to be ungrateful but I went over to his house, fixed up the Phals as best I could, and ask him to keep them.

I don't want to start a noid hospital over here! But got to give him credit for trying to give them a good home!

Peace Lily, mid-sized one (I read it's great for cleaning indoor air)

English Ivy (the yellow variegated variety, so cute! also good for air cleaning I read)

Brassavola nodosa (2)
Phalaenopsis philippinensis

Paphiopedilum Doll Goldi
Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight
Paphiopedilum charlesworthii seedings (2)
Paphiopedilum wenshanense (2)
Paphiopedilum bellatulum (2)
Paphiopedilum hangianum hybrids of various kinds.
Paphiopeilum complex hybrids (3)
Paphiopedilum Ma Belle in bud, yay!!!

Dang! It's only January 20th and you guys already bought so many new plants!

The last thing I bought is a Broughtonia sanguinea aurea but I bought it on December 31st so technically it's a last year's purchase right?

Got this beauty last week at the OS meeting. Was labeled Odcdm. catatante 'Orange Delight' (which, according to Google, doesn't seem to be a known thing; it just gives me results for 'Pacific Sunspots', but the guy I got it from, who was the speaker at the meeting, said that he likes to make his own hybrids instead of stuff that people can get anywhere else).

This is right after I brought it home

And this is today

Oh, and here's a Phal my mom brought home from Lowe's at the end of last year. It was going to be for my sister if she wanted it, but she didn't due to lack of space in her dorm room, so we kept it.

Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium are the best orchids for indoor air toxin removal but all plants helps with that!
As far as what I have bought this year.. I bought a Phal Noid at the grocery store but that is all so far. I have my eye on a few plants I am looking to get. I just bought a large rack for more orchids :evil:

Went to the Tamiami International Orchid Festival in Miami over the weekend (best show in the state), and bought:

-Lyonara Terrapoto (large division in bloom, 'schombocatt'
-Bl. Frill Seeker
-C. loddigesii x Mcp. bryciana (another 'schombocatt').

All are divisions.

Well, now I feel even better about having 13 Phals in my room with my birds! :lol:

Really? I've never heard of that before.
You know, when you google air cleaning houseplants, the same article (but used by a number of different websites) comes up and explains how NASA did a study on it and made a list of TOP 15 or something.
None were orchids.

So, where did you read that phalaenopsis and dendrobiums are the best indoor air cleaning plants??

I wish I was in South Floria this weekend for the show, but I am visiting a nursery hours down south and then there's Deepcut show in about two weeks. :biggrin:

Just got trichosalpinx chamaelepanthes, consantia cipoensis, and dendrobium parvulum blue.

Just ordered. ... .

Jumellea stenoglossa syn. Jumellea facilorchis

Betting that this one won't be found in too many private collections! (Not yet anyway) I'm pretty excited. Facilorchis was 1st described and seeds collected in 2013, but later clarified as syn. of stenoglossa in 2014.

Today my local grower ( also my boss ) gave me a huge LC fireball waxy red that won $500 at a show once for $20!! And it's in bloom, also got a den. Primulum 'yellow lip' and ascada sunset x arachnis ishmal

$20 well spent!

I had won a Drockrillia lichenastrum or Dendrobium lichenastrum on EBay and it arrived today. Yeah! So cute and tiny.

Type in 'Wikipedia orchids cleaning air' in your search engine and you will find the (full) NASA Clean Air study... not just the top 15. Near the end of the list you find Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis are listed for being great for cleaning xylene and toluene from the air.
They are not the best, but the best of the Orchid family...

I see, thank you! :)

You're welcome! After seeing some of NASA's study's I became interested in the topic.

I used to have quite a few large phals, but now they are all gone. I do have some minis and one mid sized phal, though along with many dendrobiums. :)

Let them clean~~

got a bit carried away, where will I fit em when they grow bigger :)

seedlings:-
Phalaenopsis Bellina (seedling) Round leaf
Phalaenopsis Tetraspis (seedling) -clumsy me broke off a leaf
Phalaenopsis Ipoh Super Star
Phalaenopsis violacea x penang girl
Phalaenopsis Equestris

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi
Phalaenopsis tetrapis x Phalaenopsis bellina


full grown :-
Phalaenopsis luddemannia var woodlawn
Phalaenopsis violecea red

both from easy orchids, pity he's selling off his stock and shutting down :(

Bought my daughter an Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' yesterday. We're calling it her broke up with her first boyfriend and moving on orchid. :) She's wanted one for a while. I wish mine would hurry up! The scent is amazing.

Neobenthamia gracilis on the way.......this one will end up in the garden Right outside the kitchen window.

A GIANT BLOOMING SIZED PAPH HANGIANUM!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin:

sorry i was just too excited! Its been bloomed before and the owner showed me some very nice pics of the flowers!! this is like my 5th hangianum but the rest are seedlings.:biggrin::blushing:

Just ordered (pick up at the Show):
Byrsella (Masdevallia) caesia
masdevallia erinacea
pleurothallis marthae
schlimmia jasminodora
mormodes variabilis

At a recent show I impressed myself and behaved (only because I know I need to save space and money for more and more shows):

Paph. Venustum x Sib (in bud, one fan)
Phal. Stuartiana (in spike)
Vuyl. Melissa Brianne 'Dark' (bareroot with two newer growths, maybe I'll get spikes this summer?)
Zglm. Louisendorf (in bloom with two spikes, third short spike on its way)

The latter is actually a confusing plant in terms of its name and registration. It is basically the same plant I already have, Zglm. Rhein 'Moonlight', if you look them up on RHS they have the same parents. Dunno how they do this but it's been done. Anywho wasn't going to get this plant, changed my mind at the last minute. Mostly I did because the one I already have is peloric (I love it actually) and this one is not. It's what the flower is "supposed" to look like. That said the second spike is actually on a second plant that happens to share the pot. This plant is partially peloric (pseudo-peloric??). It smells so nice, like a rose really. Which is funny now that I think about it because my Rhein 'Moonlight' has a much sweeter smell though it doesn't last as long in the day. I'm going to have to pay closer attention...

Went out for a haircut, came home with Angraecum Veitchii and Angraecum sesquipedale.

Both young plants which will get repotted tomorrow. $10 each so I'm not complaining. I did still get my hair cut!

My angrecoid magnet must be working, just picked up an Angraecum crassum.

Seedling size, think I'll try mounting it.

Just ordered

Rangaeris amaniensis
Angraecum leonis
Angraecum compactum x magdalenae

I feel like a naughty boy sneaking lollies out of the jar!!!
