Help!
 
I bought a lovely orchid today, but I have no idea of what it is called? The
woman in the flowershop didn't know either. Where can I post a picture?

Monica,

If you do not have access to alt.binaries.pictures.orchids (many people do
not), and if you have access to a Web site where you could post the photo,
you can put a link to the Web site in a message here.

Best,
Joanna

If you do not have a Web site, and just want to post the picture somewhere
temporarily, this list of free image hosting sites seems worthwhile:
http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-im...ing.php?sort=2 -- you can just
place an image there temporarily and you get a link to this image (for
example: http://www.zippyimages.com/files/546...asal_keiki.jpg )

Hope this helps.

Joanna

Email the photo to me at and I will show to my
expert wife. does the plant have a tag on it that identifies it? If
not, email the photo.

Hello!
Thank you very much, Joanna for telling me alternatives to post a picture!
My link is: http://www.zippyimages.com/7036.html
The picture isn't any good, but this is the remaining flower, I got the
flower very cheap because they were out of bloom!

Yay, Ray)

Kenni Judd 16-04-2004 12:02 AM

Help!
 
Others could probably help you better, since we don't do much with
terrestrials, but until someone else comes forward:

Keep the plant shady. If what it's potted in is really rank (smelly,
turning to mud), repot into a very light, well-draining "house-plant"
potting mix [not potting "soil" altho they usually contain some]. When we
have these, we generally mix, 50/50, one of the readily available "potting
mixes" for house plants with orchid seedling mix, and have pretty good
success. Bone-dry is bad, but soggy is worse -- aim for keeping it a little
moist, but if you are not sure whether to water, wait another day or two.

Hope this will get you through,

Send it to me and I will show my wife who is fairly knowledgeable on
orchids (she has 220 or so). she may be able to identify it.

Going forward, always get the white tab that identifies the plant when
you buy an orchid. Is this your first orchid?
