I think I can grow the cool growers because my house is usually just a shade
warmer than a meat locker
I was born and raised in the southwest but my
genes are definitely far north. I'm worried about the warm growers doing
well. I broke down and bought a few new orchids (somebody stop me
) a
Catt. bicolor, and a flask (my first) of a hybrid C. Angelwalker x Slc.
India Rose Sherwood.

It's nice to see Catts will forgive you for forgetting to water I
like
some of the more unusual and strange flowers as well. Science fiction
and
space stuff is high on my list of favorite things If they were
looking
for colonists to mars I woud be one of the first in line.
I think when a flower stays "too long" it ceases to be interesting for
itself and becomes a backdrop for other things. I like my Restrepia
because
the flowers are short lived but it blooms frequently. I just wish the
flowers were a bit larger

I envy your ability to grow such cool growers! Alas I cannot grow them.
Probably because I do not water. LOL!! I fell in love with
Scaphosepalums.
(ram's head orchids) and have quite a few of their tags in my 'dead orchid
pot'. (I stick the name tags of all the orchids I've killed in a pot in
the
GH. So far its overfilling a 3"pot. That doesn't sound so big until you
actuall try to stuff tags into a 3" pot.. then you see how big it is,
*G*!)
One of these days I'll be able to grow them
