I think I remember a post suggesting that someone had no room left for more plants!!!!. Nice purchases.

I agree, nice purchases. When someone wakes up and makes importing hangianum legal, I'm going to go broke! There's alway room for more orchids!

I went there with the intention to buy brachies, but once in the nursery, you know its a completely different situation! When I saw a blooming vietn x roth :drool:! then this strong Woluwense, where mine had just died away, that cool cochlo x hang bloom, and then Iantha Stage, I needed one of those (and Gérard offered me this one), ......!

Is it me or have I / we heard and said very similar or word exact at one time or another ?????? Doesn't matter Jean, we believe you.

Nice plants amongst those. I'm jealous of your roth x vietnamense. Should be a cracker. I had a mdeium size seedling but it went downhill quick.
