visit to members greenhouse
Sunday I am going to a member of our local society's greenhouse. Hoping to buy some plants, after weeks of changing of minds I think I came to a conclusion. First I wanted to go with Paphs then just go and see wat i want. But now I think I am going to take,
Rossioglossum splendens NFS
Pescatoria lehmannii BS
Psychopsis Mariposa BS
Brassavola cucullata, Blooming
So what do think? Good choice?
Also any culture information welcome

Psychopsis will make you so happy  We have the papilio, and she's such a happy bloomer. Except for now, she's taking some time off, I guess because of the weather, but I don't mind

I'm sorry about your papilio! Ours also had this black rot thing going on one of her leaves, so maybe that's also why she's postponing more blooms  I cut the leaf off, moved her to a shadier spot, hopefully will recover well.

I've only talked to him through email so far and haven't bought anything, yet  But I have a suspicion I'll be a frequent visitor, as we're moving to Pretoria East next year
