I'm in orchid paradise!
 

I am in orchid heaven as I am 'baby-sitting' an orchid nursery during the absence of the owners who have gone to an orchid show in a southern state capital.

My duties are minimal - feeding the cat and myself, watering orchids and selling plants to unwary callers.

In my spare time, I have been browsing through 100's of 'bargain bench' ($5 - $20) plants that have been culled out for an upcoming sale. Naturally, I have 'pigged out' and bought some really great plants for myself and for another forum member who lives in a place called Victoria.

What have we bought?

V. igsignis
V. Fuchs delight
Rhy. retusa x Rhy. coelestis 'Pink'
V. Pat Delight
V. Bonnie's Two tone 'Plum 'n Pink'
V. Lourdes Apostle 'Cool Lime'
Ascda. Guo Chia Long
V. Keeree's Sapphire 'Lakeland'

These, along with a PILE of others.

Why all Vandaceous plants? The nursery specialises in Vandas and is the origin of many well known names.

Baz,
I am rather excited for you. You are not sitting Brighton's nursery, or are you?

Oh how lucky!!! If the owners are OK with it, could you post some pics? I love drooling orchid paradises like that!

Hold on! You're doing what?!!!

I'm on the first plane flight out there! LOL...

you MUST post pics! and lots of them!

Wow. Indeed, it must be a paradise. Another forum member in Victoria??? Did you know that Roy's hanging space is full? You might end up keeping all. HEHEHE.

Baz, you lucky dawg. You're like on vacation right?? can't be work :) Enjoy while I salivate..:rofl:

Yes Lars, I am toiling away at Brighton Orchids. It's dirty work but someone has to do it!

Mollycart1, it's a funny thing you mentioning Roy's lack of hanging space. I seem to remember him saying something along those lines. He is also complaining about lack of bench space now.

Photos? I'll have to arrange for a grease and oil change on my camera.

Baz

Wow :cloud9: you must be loving it!

heh I thought about volunteering myself into a debt of indentured servitude at a greenhouse close to me..I have a sign made already

"Will work for Orchids" :)

wait a minute I DO ALREADY!!!!:rofl:
