Zach your collection definately grew. Nice parvi collection. I had an excel spreadsheet of my collection with data and all that but it got erased. And now I'm just to damn lazy to remake it.

Would you be able to post a picture of your Gloria Naugle? I would love to see the foliage.
 
1. We have to get you a Beverly Fischer. I can't stand the thought of you not having one of your favorites in there. Plus I am tired of hearing you talk about it. :rollhappy:

2. I would lay a cool $100 bill on the table that says there is no way in hell you are stopping after you get those two plants. I used to say I was giving it up after the next plant too. That was four years ago, I am still saying it, and I break the vow every f'ing time.

Friends may come and go, and wives are replaceable, but orchids get in your blood and the sickness has no cure.

Not a great shot, but you can kind of see the lighter streaks.

1. Oh, I assure you, Ms. Beverley will be mine one of these days.

2. 'Calm down' does not equal 'stop buying.' I can assure you, I'll still be getting more! However, as a person that has to entirely pack up and move at least 5 times a year, I need to keep it managable. That's one of the reasons I like Parvis. Nice and compact! I just need Joyce and Norito, though!
 
Sweet looks like a happy and healthy gloria. I remember a while back you started a thread about seedling care. I remember that this gloria was one of them. How are your others coming along?

My Paph seedlings are all doing well! Same with my Phrag seedlings. Due to their delicate-ness, they tend to scare me a bit more.

My apologies. I'm allowed to misspell a word once in a while, I hope.
No - no - no! I was trying to be funny, not criticize you! It was my way of saying I don't know what that word means, for my collection is out of control...

If the window greenhouse starts to overflow, you know there's always room at Chris' Orchid Inn. They'll be well taken care of, plus free HBO.

BTW, your collection was growing quicker than I was led to believe. Zach, don't keep your orchid excitement from me. You know I am stifled at home and only find enjoyment with the weekly watering of my plants, and living vicariously through you.

Oooooh ok, I'm sorry! I've been browsing the OSF too much lately.
 
Not many of us get support at home for this addiction. That's why I say we need to start a club house for orchid growers. Someplace where we can go to and grow in peace with other like minded individuals. A sort of He-man-orchid-lovers club if you will.

How large is that Phrag. besseae Peru 1988? And any references as to where it came from or anything? The older Phrag. besseae are almost non-existent, the original 2 clumps collected by Calaway Dodson himself died within the last few years (they were collected in 1981), they were originally growing at Selby Gardens...

One bloomed growth with 3 new growths coming on. It's a division of a division from a plant Orchids Limited imported back in the day.
 
Divisions of legal, wild-collected besseae are pretty hard to find. Unless you ask the right people.
