Most of them, Degarmoara, Oncidium, Atrobiolaceum, wild willie, and antennatum were listed as being in bloom or bud. The great surprise was that the Phrag came in bud! I got that one because I have a young possible orchid lover in 'training' that picked it out.

What a great haul you have! Great places to buy from. I hope your young orchid lover in training is very excited about this.

Some good stuff. My personal favorites

Oncidium Twinkles: Lovely hybrid. Fairly easy to grow, and sightly more shade tolerant for an oncidium. The fragrance? wonderful. Clones range from red/pink to bright yellow in color. Flowers are usually more or less solidly colored.

Phrag Mayling Nielson: Fantastic Phrag hybrid. Nice long petals, and despite being long petalled, generally very happy with heavy watering. Also, small growing enough to work well for indoor growers, and it's vigorous enough to bloom yearly.


Den Atroviolaceum: Some of the most forgiving Dendrobiums are those in the same group as atroviolaceum. They tend to grow in shadier, warmer, and wetter conditions than most other dendrobiums. And they flower freely.


Den. Antennatum: This is the only one I don't have direct experience growing. They like higher light than I can provide, and need to dry out more/faster than I can generally achieve. But the flowers are really fantastically beautiful, so if you've got the conditions and growing routine, it's a wise choice.

I should have the conditions to grow the antennatum, its home is a south facing window indoors...

My only question is the Phrag... I've read some like constant wet feet while others do not and I haven't read any info on what this cross likes.

I got all of these at great prices, the Roth was $20! I had to get it. And then I needed to make other purchases to justify the shipping cost :P

The orchids all look great! Always good to justify the shipping of one orchid by putting in a half dozen more orchids!
