Jewel Orchids!
 

I finally got some jewel orchids! I've loved these since before I even started growing orchids, but have only grown Ludisia discolor until recently when I found a Macodes petola (posted in another thread) and then these. These are from Imperial Exotics, and are very healthy except for a couple damage spots.

Jewel orchids are so hard to capture in photographs, especially with a cheap camera like mine. Except for the Goodyera, they all have much more sparkling, prismatic veins than the pics show, especially the Dossinia.

In order they are:
Dossinia marmorata var. dayii
Anoectodes Charlotte's Web (Anoectochilus brevilabris x Macodes petola)
Macodes sanderiana
Dossinochilus Dreamcatcher (Dossinia marmorata x Anoectochilus brevilabris)
Goodyera schlechtendaliana

Beautiful!

I'm currently searching for some jewels myself

Thanks WhiteRabbit! Imperial Exotics has 28 different jewels, both species and hybrids. They also have an ebay store that sells the same plants for a dollar less ($8.95 vs. $9.95), either way pretty cheap.

I'll probably be ordering from them again as soon as I figure out where I would put more! I really want to try some of the Anoectochilus they offer!

Very nice and healthy looking plants!

cool! thanks for the info - is the ebay store name the same?

Thanks Silken!

Oops, yes their ebay name is basically the same: imperial exotics | eBay

Though the ebay site only has about half of what the main store offers.

thanks! :D

LOVELY!!! And silken, in case you were wondering, there is a Canadian vendor that has a lot of jewel orchids. Hawaiian Botanicals in BC has a great selection of jewel, hardy, and Brazilian orchids. They also have MANY carnivorous plants, and oodles of other things. OMG!!! There is so much I want to buy I don't know where to start!

You are such an enabler! It's bad bad bad :lol:

WHAT!?! Enabling?!? Me!?! Preposterous!!! I have no clue what you are talking about! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
