Piping Rock Orchids ROCKS!

[shadytrake]

I had the pleasure of vacationing in upstate NY so I called Glenn at Piping Rock to see if I could visit his greenhouse.

I must say that it was a pleasure meeting him and visiting his 'chids. He happily showed me the greenhouses and his treasures.

I blew my budget out of the water but I just couldn't resist such great orchids.

I picked up these beauties (I hope I don't kill them).

Paph Wossner Kolarmi - in bud (HUGE plant)
Paph Cam's Cloud
Paph malipoense - in bud (the big mottled in the pic.)
Paph Magic Lantern - in bud (just because I have always wanted one).
Phrag Eumelia Arias
Phrag Alfredo Manrique

I've never gone to the greenhouse but I've met Glenn at a bunch of shows and you couldn't meet a friendlier more knowledgeable guy. Good luck with those beauties.

Awesome! You covered a couple on my wish list as well (malipoense & Magic Lantern - LOVE them!) Thanks for the info ...I didn't think I'd be disappointed, but good to know, and for others to know as well

I would recommend them too, I bought a nice phrag from them via mail order a few months ago and everything went very smoothly and the plant seems very healthy (though it hasn't bloomed yet).

Oh lucky you. I hope they all do good for you.

Glenn is very nice and lets you know what's going on if there's any delay due to weather, etc.
