No.... 6 more arrive this morning

That has to be it for the moment as I'm now out of hanging space again

I'm clearing out a lot of Paphs plus other genera to give me room for some Catts, mini / compact type.
The Paphs flower once a year, the catts I can get to flower 2 or 3 times a year. Too old to keep looking at green leaves all the time. ( my story & sticking to it )

Awesome!

I am with you, Roy. Ever since I started growing Vandas, my Phrags have been doing so poorly. I am just about to give up and give them away. ( Seriously thinking about it ) Then the space can be used to extend the 'Vanda house' so that I can add MORE. They are so easy to grow and rewarding. Except for some of spieces, most of mine bloom at least twice a year.

Very nice collection Roy. I'm sure you will find space if a few more just happen to show up. I'm with you...my goal was to have something blooming all year round and I've succeeded. I esp. try to buy catts that bloom 2 or more times a year. and my phals and dens keep their blooms for 2 or more months. They fill in till the catts get going. Do you have any mokaras in your collection and free blooming ascda?

[Roy]

Only a few Mokaras atm, not really into them
The Ascdas do reasonably well but not being very mature they don't always flower more than once. I have a few that do though. I have a few Phallies growing on so continuos flowers will occur eventually.

Uh! I'm jealous you have a greenhouse.
And a really nice collection of Vandas too by-the-by!

I quite agree Naoki. You need to give me your Phrags. so you can add a couple of Rhy. gigantea to your collection!

Cheers.
