Hello everyone,
My name is Phill, and my user name is beemerphill (picked up the nickname over the years wile riding a Beemer motorcycle). I do not grow orchids, and know very little about them, except that some of the flowers are prettier than the law allows. I do like them, but do not want the hasslel of messing with them.
My wife, on the other had, is getting into them, and really seems to enjoy them. She asked me to register in this forum, and get some help in identifying an orchid she has.
She bought a plant at the local orchid society. They had a bunch of plants from a former members collection. That member had died, and his family wanted the remaining flowers in his collection to be sold at a meeting.
This plant looked kinda so-so, but she is very good with plants, and took it home to help it. After splitting the plant into three eparaterate pots, it looked much better. One of the little plants flowered after about six weeks. We do not know what kind of orchid it is, or what to call it. The flower is beautiful, and appears to be very healthy. It almost looks as if it has varnish or polish on it, it is very shiny. I will attempt to post some pics. If anyone knows what to call this plant, please reply to this post, and let us know what it is. Thanks for reading this long and rambling post, and for helping a new guy with an orchid question.
