Collection Update

[parvi_17]

It has been a while since I last updated my collection. I have really downsized, but I have also added a few plants. Unfortunately several of my most beloved plants were lost last fall when a sudden frost struck one night in the middle of a warm week (so I hadn't brought my plants back in yet). Luckily most survived thanks to the protection provided by the coldframe they were in. Needless to say, I brought all the plants in at the end of August this year so that doesn't happen again. I will be doing a lot of shopping over the next few weeks so this will be updated again soon.

[JeanLux]

very nice collection you have there; what extentions are you thinking of?? Jean

 

[parvi_17]

Thank you! Well I always have a huge list of plants that I want... but I guess right now what I want most is Paph vietnamense, and more Phrags, and some more Cyps.

 

[toddybear]

I recognize a few of Paramounts and Clouds offerings! We have 8 paphs in common.

Definately a few from Paramount, but not from Cloud's... I would really like to order from him sometime though.

 

[parvi_17]

I forgot that I had a Cyp Emil! I added it to the list.

Yes! I will be coming to the Calgary show for the first time this year. I am VERY excited.

 

[parvi_17]

Just realized I forgot another plant: Cyp. reginae f. albolabium. Sheesh! It can be hard to remember all my plants.

 

[lily]

hi Parvi, did you get your micranthum var. eburneum from orchid inn? has it bloomed for you yet?

 

[parvi_17]

I bought that plant from a member of my society but it did originate from Orchid Inn. It has not yet flowered but likely will soon.

 

[lily]

wow....I used to have one...but it died.....=(

 

[parvi_17]

Aw that's too bad! This is a hard plant to get and I was lucky to find it.

 

[NYEric]

I'm waiting for the Secret Destroyer to get tired of the ones he has strewn around the greenhouse floor, then I'll hopefully get the castaways! :evil:

I got an ID on my yellow Catt - it is a Potinara 24 Carat 'Lea' AM/AOS. Found the tag stuck deep into the basket so I couldn't see it before.

 

[NYEric]

Oh, that's a good one. Interesting collection, thanx for posting.

 

[Kyle]

Where did you get the Winston Churchill? If you ever get a division, I would be very interested.

I got my Winston Churchill from Forestview Gardens in Vancouver. It is a small seedling, which I thought was weird because considering this is a specific clone ('Indomitable'), I thought you would only be able to get it as a division. However, I heard that Orchids Limited has figured out how to clone some Paphs (namely delenatii); do you think maybe this is a clone?

 

[Kyle]

Hmm.... I will see Terry from Forestview in a couple of weeks and I will ask him. I suspect maybe it is a selfing. Which would be interesting too.

I believe Dr. Orchid has successfully cloned some stuff. But I think he is still a ways away from producing enough plants to make a famous clone like WC $20. How big is the plant?
