Uh-oh! Another orchid show and sale over purchase!
Someone should really start a business accompanying orchid addicts to shows and sales...
"Now Sally, are you sure you need another paph. helenae?"
"George, I'm no expert, but that phal. bellina looks exactly like the phal. violacea x bellina you have in your other hand."
As a windowsill grower, I could have used their help. Here's what I bought:
Maxillary tenuifolia
Paph. rothschildianum
Compact paphs:
Paph. helenae x sib ('Flat Dorsal' x 'Yellow Bird')
Paph. roth x sib ('Fine Five' x 'Atticus' AM/AOS, B/WOC)
Paph. henryanum
Paph. henryanum x helenae
Phals:
tetraspis x tetraspis #C1
cornu-cervi (red) (for those counting, that's three I have now)
equestris "orange" x mannii var. flava
bellina (?) maybe, there's some confusion in the labelling and the phals aren't in spike or bloom
Phal. Amber
Phal. Yaphon Sensation x Brother Ambo Passion
Phrag:
Ingrid Portilla
And two in spike at home:
Paph. Yang-Ji Apple (philippinense x anitum)
Phrag. sedenii

On the plus side, you got great orchids and you saved quite a bit on shipping!
