2 new Beauties from Hausermann's
 

I just ordered 2 more orchids from Hausermann's. The first is a nice looking phal (Hsin Beauty):

This paph is going to require learning how to get a younger plant to the blooming stage, Mildred Hunter X Winston Churchill:

I think you will enjoy both of those plants!

Really gorgeous!

Oooh I just got a Hsin Beauty from Hausermann's and it's already got some nice juicy buds! Congratulations on your gorgeous new plants! They'll be worth it!

Thanks all. I am really excited because these are my first orchids purchased online. I am especially excited, and a bit anxious, about the paph since it's the first non-flowering orchid for me. So I have to learn how to care for it so that it will grow and eventually bloom. That was going to have to come at some point, and no time like the present. I have a room in my condo that is 5-10 degrees cooler than the main orchid space. I am putting my Noid phal that has finished blooming in that room at night. Should I put the new paph in there as well at night? Should the blooming phals go there at night, too?

Good luck with your new orchids! :)

Both are very nice. Love the colors on the phal. I'll cross my fingers on the paph for ya. They're pretty easy.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have found "pretty easy" to be relative. :)

Very nice. Show them when they arrive and good luck with them.

My new kids have arrived. Both were in great shape:
