I Was Very Bad!
 

Yes I was very bad today.... Normally I don't post stuff like this 'cause it just isn't my personality to show off what I purchase but I ordered some chids from a vendor in Hawaii (list attached).... it's my 2nd order. The first was just a trial run and I only got 4 Paphs. They were just wonderful.... packed perfectly in excellent condition and 3 of them had multiple fans of new growth in 4" pots and at a very reasonable price! I expect them Friday morning. Some will be in spike. However, I'm expecting most will not at this time of year. So does anyone live close to me with a greenhouse... I think I'm really gonna need some space this fall!!!! And NO, I'm not sending any to you Susie Q..... that pool might just scar the Bee Geezers out of them!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Paph. chamberlainianum

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

So I take it you like paphs!!! Giggle. Congrats and have fun with the new chids. :)

Like many of us, I like anything that has a big nice flower that I can grow and not bump off the 1st week I get it!!!!!!

Congrats on your haul Howard. Sure gives me hope. Next time I feel like splurging, I'm going right ahead...and telling people that Howard inspired me. :rofl:

You'll just have to add another greenhouse! What price beauty?:rofl:

Care to share your excellent source Howard? :evil:

that's what me and my neighbour do all the time. we brag about our purchases, even though we go to buy together!

anyway, what is Cattleianthe?

Ah, I see you were followed home. Think of it this way: the plants just hacked into your bank account and found their way to you. It was all just an accident, right? :rofl:

Looks like an interesting list, even though I have no idea what any of them look like (save Paph. chamberlainianum, P. Lynleigh Koopowitz, and P. venustum). The one that piques my curiosity is Paph. Spicy Bull. Interesting name for a slipper, to say the least. :)

Edit: I just looked into it. It's a hybrid between spicerianum and Mount Toro.

...

Er, Howard, buddy...this wouldn't happen to be that secret source, would it? :evil:

Lehua Orchids - Paphiopedilum, Masdevallia and Angraecum breeding, hybridizing and growing. Miltoniopsis, Miltonia, and Zygopetalum are also grown for the orchid resale market.

Cattleianthe is a Cattleya Alliance plant (Mini Purple x bowringiana). this one looks like many of the "Blue" colored Cattleya, i.e. Memoria Robert Strait, Lc. Gaskell-Pumila 'Azure Star', Lc. C. G. Roebling 'Sentinel'.

And yes Lehua is the vendor. Didn't mean to lead anyone to think this was a "secret"... sorry. Graham is more than happy to go the distance to offer great Paphs and other chids.

Good mooooorning, Doc! :coverlaugh:

So, I see my friend went a little bananas :banana:

:rofl:

I have lots of room, dear ;)

What did I tell you about that pool of yours!!!! "No chids at Susie Q's until they have their swimming lessons...Period!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

We'll get them little lifejackets :rofl:

Well, I guess we could get them floaty pots for their leaves and an inner tube to put around their roots..... what'd think?????? :rofl:

:crackup:

:beach:

Anything to to cheer you up and put a smile on that pretty face.... life is so very short and a smile and happy heart go a long way..... :blushing:

OMG...Doc, you could leave something for someone else!
You do know you have to add another green house this summer/fall, you'll never get all of your plants back in the beautiful one you have now. Time for house #2. (I have plenty of room)

:blowkisses:

Thanks, my friend...smiles back at ya ;)

Your Cattleianthe sounds interesting.

This is the flower of my new chid

LOL...Sue, I have a reason to believe that your orchids were swimsuit models in a past life. :rofl:

:coverlaugh:

:lovesite:

As we all should when there are sooooo many GREAT people here having sooooo much fun teaching and learning and sharing.....like you, Susie Q

Wow Doc, you really did go a bit bannas ... what a great list though :cheer:

I'm sure you'll find space somehow... there's always room for one (whops... lots) more :rofl:

Doc was so bad, he was good. :shock:You know we all understand here on the board. :rofl:Carol

Doc - Congratulations on your new babies and please do show off! :D It's all good!
And
Why can I not get the image of Orchids in remote control toy boats out of my head now? Which one would be the life guard? Maybe one day you could have and Orchid boating regatta?.... Sorry, I'll get my coat! ;)

I guess the summer sun is getting to you, Susie Q :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Where do find these things.... just amazing!!!!!
