Other orchid show purchases - Orchid Board

Here are the other purchases from the R.F.Orchis show
the little guys I couldn't resist for 3 bucks I know I'll be waiting a couple of years before any blooms but that's ok. The large one is Aeridv. Samsri Sunlight and she smelled delicious

I mounted one of the little ones cause it looked worse just bare hung, but I think I'll get a small basket for them instead.

Looks like you had a great time at the show!

You really got the jackpot with the Samsri Sunlight, it's gorgeous!!!
What are the little guys called? I can't read the tags, too small.

Great buys. I like your low-tech mounting... should look better when roots acclimate.

It may be too big for my kitchen..... must find room....

That large one is gorgeous! Love the color combo.

I've got 4 little ones from the same vendor that I received as gifts last April and I very regretfully put them in wooden baskets.

I could shoot myself

So many of those beautiful roots, have stuck to the baskets and those that do, break~! Wish I knew then...

Your other plants look great too. Happy growing!

Hey Joe...nice collection of vandaceous plants you got there! Congrats!

By the way, what vendor did you get the Aeridv. Samsri Sunlight from? I wish I had seen one of these guys there...it would be in my collection right now.

Back in the spring, I ordered the 10 seedling special from RF Orchids. I got different crosses, but the sizes were about the same. The instructions included stated to place them in wooden baskets. I had I think 5 small wooden baskets, so I had to put the other 5 in plastic baskets. I figured I would see the difference. All of them except the V. Coerulea are doing great. I have always had problems with this vanda for some reason. I guess because I want one so desperately and want to see it bloom!!!
My seedling special was 10 for $50, so you got a great deal!!
Congratulations!!
Janet

Way to go Swamper! Nice collection. The Samsri Sunlight is fantastic. I want one too

There is a show in Delray Beach Oct 31, Nov 1 & 2. I hope RF is there. I can't wait to see what goodies I bring home too.
