Well, you don't *have* to have any real knowlege, its your magic island
after all. I suppose I could have had bulbophyllums that grow side by side
with rupiculous laelias.... Interestingly I realized there wern't any Phals
on my island either. Nevertheless I'm staying with the hand I dealt meself.
And I said you don't have to use species only. I have a furtive C Bow Bells
darting amongst the foliage in my island. And the more I think about it an
Angraecum magdalenae is living with the L pumila. (Although its only been
seen in pictures. The one in my GH is getting smaller by the day.)

C'mon, folks, get this rolling! I was hoping for more responses in this
thread. I don't have the broad species knowledge that you judge types
have. Educate us lesser mortals, LOL!

And, as I look over my list just about everything except the mormodes and
laelias I can't grow!! LOL! We a;ways want what we can't have. I have
*finally* learned not to buy stuff that just won't grow in my
condoitions. A Dend vexillaria was in my hand and I put it down, since it
is from such a high elevation there'd be no way I can grow it!

Are there any beer recipes utilizing orchids ;


Kath is far enough out - no beer needed.

But you missed all the beautiful Phrags nodding on the steep slopes.
Reds and greens and mahogany and shy pinks play in the moving shadows.

Fantastic shaped Bulbophyllums and umbels of Cirrhopetalums dance in
shades of gold and red glory from the trees.
