Wow!

 

[Ozpaph]

some of those are quite good shape and stance wise. What was the cross?

 

[SlipperKing]

Tall spikes too. I'll have to check out your nursery ther next time I'm back in Zanesville.

Couple of those are definitely worth buying if they have an ID. Without the ID they would still make a good pot plant!

There were a few different crosses in there. One was Pigsah Lime, the others were Hilo something...can't remember.

There was one not pictured that had the biggest, most perfectly round dorsal i've ever seen. it was really impressive.

you bought it, right?

I am also waiting to hear that it was indeed purchased along with a few others (BTW I assume the Hilo was Hilo Green)

 

[Justin]

you bought it, right?

Sadly, no. Tryimg to maintain orchid equilibrium these days...

 

[Ozpaph]

If it was really good I'm sure some one on ST or eBay would part with cash. Alas, no reasonable way of getting it into Oz.

 

[Trithor]

Not having bought them does not sound like any form of orchid equilibrium at all. Simple rule of thumb, buy at least two and then always in pairs to maintain a semblance of equilibrium!

LOL i totally agree. But i am facing the reality of limited space as well as the limit of how many plants i can grow *well.

my latest rule is that i can only bring a plant in if one goes out...at least that is my goal

I have a bunch of Angraecums, swap a helenae or henryanum for a couple of Angraecums and see how quickly you will need a whole new property to accommodate the sudden volume expansion. I have one plant that is over a meter in diameter and over two and a half meters tall. A beast of a plant, I would have got rid of it years ago, but it houses a few pairs of Gouldians that have decided it should be home.

Nice bunch.. I would have grabbed more than one.. good greenies are hard to come by here..

Think with your 'orchid brain' not your 'logical brain'......anatomically its near the 'see a pretty woman in a short skirt' brain.......
