Who Got Orchids For Christmas?

[quiltergal]

I did! I must have been a good girl this year. Santa brought me a Blc. Chin Lin 'New City'. It's a standard Catt, and is supposed to have a large burgundy colored flower with lots of floof. I'm going to have to make some room in the grow area for this one. It's a biggie. Mom was very clever. She bought it in bloom and had the presence of mind to take a picture of it as soon as she got it home. The next day it promply dropped it's flowers. She printed out a picture of the blooms and tied it to the stake.

Looks like the name was spelled wrong on the tag. Should be Blc. Chia Lin 'New City' AM/AOS. Even better!

I was the happy receipient of Christmas cash. . .so of course, I got orchids! lol

I came back from Fantasy Orchids with a BOX of orchids:

A big zen vase fountain
A Laelia purpurata 'Delicata' (expect blooms in June)
A Charles M. Fitch 'Izumi' (in spike)
A Slc. Roblar 'Orange Charm' (little one like the lLaelia reginea)
A Dend. Aggregatum (mounted on cork)

Pictures to follow. . .

Nice gifts!!!!! I'm so jealous! I did not get any orchids or anything to do with orchids. I must have been a bad girl.
Hmmmm, note to self: Trip to Woodsprites Orchids this weekend. I'm awful, but I have been trying so hard to be good and not buy any orchids before Christmas.....but now that Christmas is over.....don't anyone get my way! kiki-do

I guess a Trader Joe's gift card would qualify. They have some really lovely plants upon occasion. The Pecorino Romano will have to wait for a while.

Terri, that's a beautiful plant! Mom's got great taste...and she's quite clever too! Love the idea of pictures hanging on the plant!

I got the shirt my MIL embroidered for me with the orchids on it along with a huge ceramic bullfrog for the orchid room and I will be getting my Christmas gifts from hubby in 27 days at the WOC

The family vowed not to give orchids for Christmas this year, but my wise son decided to put in an envelop an orchid calling Visa Gift Card. With an note for it to be used only at the WOC. It's burning a hole in my pocket

Dave,
I planted a couple of Double delight roses, but the flowers aren't the color they are supposed to be

I must have been bad as well, no orchids or anything to do with orchids. I bought my self a Mist King System that arrived just before Christmas and my hubby installed it for me! He is to afraid to buy in an orchid, he claims I may not like what he pics out...lol....like that is ever possible!

at our Orchid Society Christmas Party. Two are blooming now, and I am sure that the other two will take some time. Maybe next year.
