Orchid wish-list

[NYEric]

Hi. It's that time again; when all the good little boys and girls get to wish for their favorite orchids. Let's see whats on your wish-list:

Mine is:
LARGE pot of Lepanthes calodictyon
Paph Chrystelle.
Phrag Ralph Gouldner
Phrag Plemont
any of the Canadian Phrags that have eluded me thus far!

Mine's pretty simple this year...

Paph anitum
Paph adductum

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks to a couple of posters on slippertalk, there are two on my list, but I'll be amazed if I can find them:

Gastrochilus bellinus
Gastrochilus somai

 

[emydura]

Paph tigrinum

I bought a flask of Sam Tsui recently but they look like they are going to be a real battle. A flowering size plant maybe a much better bet but I've never seen one for sale.

LARGE pot of Lepanthes calodictyon

Thanks for starting this thread, but what's with the "LARGE" and really it's prettier on a mount?!?!

Anyway, on my list is Masdevallia infracta. A friend gave me a nice one once, but I managed to lose it

on my wish list is a new apartment where I can water my plants and if some gets on the floor it doesn't matter and if it gets really humid mold doesn't grow. would also be nice if I could just open an outside door and hose any mess out through it! orchid growing isn't carpet friendly!

I just received a division of a variegated neofintetia in trade for doing some closeup photography for a club member, so I don't have any real plant wishes (though another phal maculata flava would be really nice or a colorful, fragrant phal lindenii) i'd make a non-phal wish for a phrag wallisii, but I don't have the space for things like that!

Eric, I think you really need a new apartment in your wish list to accommodate all those phrags... :evil: I just wish my collection will be free of scales once and for ALL!!!!!

 

[goldenrose]

A second GH, one 8 x 12 is not enough!

"Eric, I think you really need a new apartment in your wish list to accommodate all those phrags..." I agree paphioboy!

 

[biothanasis]

Mine is any kind of easy growing Catasetum or Cycnoches...

oke:That's why I don't have much of a wishlist, need more space! and money! now I'm not sure which should be first!

 

[nikv]

The only orchid on my wish list is Paph Cybele (lawrencianum x druryi). I had a division of one that a friend gave me years ago but I lost it. Been wanting a replacement ever since.

 

[Ross]

Realistically, I really need a greenhouse and the money to heat it, but one plant on my wishlist would be:
Paph Skip Barlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

I've only been growing orchids for less than two years, so I still want them all. My list is infinite. Space is another issue entirely:sob:

 

[cnycharles]

time and experience usually helps narrow the field a bit,... usually
after a while there may be some that you just hate to keep throwing out and don't buy anymore (or you go crazy and modify your growing area with all sorts of bells and whistles)

 

[rdhed]

I'm okay on plants for now. I have my hands full enough with what I've got. My wish is another lighting system since I have about twelve plants that summered outside and are not getting adequate light.(everything grew..go figure) Of course with another lighting system that will give me more light than I need for just twelve plants. So, I will buy more plants to fill the extra space. I saw some on Elena's list that reminded me. Then my wish will be for someone part time to help me with the extra work. Oh will it ever stop.

Just cracked and put in an order with Popow orchids, and with Sam Tsui. So my wish list will hopefully soon be a have list.

I'm so weak! :evil:

The lack of space and money never stopped the wishing, though

Dan, let us know what you get!
