Redland Loot List
Well, we're back. I was good, very, very good, IMHO - just nine purchases.
And I really hit pay dirt at Andy's! Four species that I wanted are now in my hot little hands. And, by the way, thanks to all the enablers who post over at abpo, who, by showing me some orchids that I subsequently decided were must haves, aided and abetted the growth of our collection. Thus: From Andy's...... Sievekingia reichenbachiana in spike Den. draconis Phal. tetraspis in bud (It will be interesting to note what these flowers end up looking like. They vary so much...) Nidema boothii (this was Epi. - why do they keep messing with our heads??) And: Paph moquetteanum in bloom, from Krull Smith (this was one of Frank's choices, although he "doesn't grow them") C. gaskelliana in triple sheath, from Cal Orchids Lc. Canhamiana v. coerulea 'Cobalt' AM/AOS in bloom, from Godlove Phal. Joy Leopard Mount in bloom on two spikes, from Joseph Wu Asdca. Motes Hot Chestnut 'Isabella' HCC/AOS from, of course, Motes. Gotta have one of his Vandas when we go down there. Great festival! Diana |

Diana,
LOL very, very good and only 9 purchases -- how many orchids do you have now? If I went to a show and bought nine plants, ... Well, currently I don't think that is ever going to happen, but then again I never thought I would own over 50 orchids myself, so in a few years I may come back to this post in the archives, and compare it with my newest purchase, and laugh at myself. Good for you. Congratulations, Diana! Joanna P.S.: I recently proved to myself that I am still an orchid addict. Even though the amount of watering that I have to do with my current collection is starting to feel a bit like a burden, and Robert is already eyeing up the orchid collection for future havoc potential, and thus I had decided to get only two plants during my pre-Mothers' Day visit to Al's, I then went to Safeway for food shopping a few days ago, and there was this peloric Phal Brother Lancer (with 2 spikes and 9 healthy leaves), which was irresistible. Sigh. So I did not resist. "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message . .. Well, we're back. I was good, very, very good, IMHO - just nine purchases. And I really hit pay dirt at Andy's!

We'll try to post some pix today. Not everything is in bloom, however.
Joanna, we have around 250-275 plants now. I lost my log and have to do inventory. It may be more by now. And, no one would ever have convinced me that I'd own even *one* orchid, let alone hundreds! Diana |
