Absolutely, though two or three might be more appropriate.
Welcome; the U.S. could certainly use as many folks of the orchid
persuasion as possible!

Subject: My new orchids!

Congratulations Katrina! I too am in the process of changing citizenships
(my US citizenship ceremony is tomorrow). Hmm, should I too buy another
orchid to celebrate? Thanks for the idea.

Hi folks,

I just found out I have been accepted for Dutch citizenship. To celebrate,
although being one of low budget, I headed for the floating flower market,
the nearest location of anyone specializing in orchids at all. I have
picked
up a paph that was only labeled "USA hybrid" but is absolutely gorgeous,
for
about $20 (one flower, two "new plants" starting) and my first orchid that
I
actually know kind-of-fully what it is--an Oncidium Sharry Baby, nearly
done
blooming, but does still smell like chocolate and was about $10. Purple.

They didn't have one I craved last month but had no excuse to afford; it
was
some sort of very miniature oncidium with spray after spray of coral and
salmon flowers, the whole plant about 6 cm. tall. I wonder what it was.

Do these sound like good deals (like I care--I just like the plants)?
Also,
about how long is it between flowerings on these fellows, generally
speaking?

Thanks,

Katrina
