Here's a new guy blooming in my collection now.

The colors are a little off in the photo, but they're not too far from the real McCoy. Enjoy!

David, that is very pretty! I need to get something in that color range. Did you get it from Motes?

[dgenovese1]

Hi Susie...Yes, it is one of his crosses that has not been registered yet.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I like it. Does Motes sell on the net?

I just added another pipe rack to my basement vanda area. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it organized. It's not Florida but.... Hey.....they grow,, and I found a new bud yesterday.

Hi Marilyn,

That is terrific about your new Vanda setup and your new bud! I'm looking forward to pics.

I'm glad that you like the cross pictured above. According to the web page that Motes has, he does ship, although he does not have a website listing his material. I also can't attest to how well he ships, never having had the need to go that route myself. I suppose you can call and ask what process he uses to ensure plant safety.

While he does have some cloned plants, like Ascda. Motes Burning Sands 'Mary Motes' HCC/AOS, V. Arjun 'Wink' HCC/AOS and others, many are named and un-named hybrid crosses, which can exhibit quite a variance in the way the colors and flowers are arranged from sibling to sibling. These crosses can often times have quite a wow factor like the one here; however they are in essence one-of-a-kind plants.

I'll post a link to the Motes' webpage so you (and others) can have their contact information. Motes Orchids, Inc.
