Good evening all,

I am not usually one for gushing public praise, but gotta do it this time.

Mick just sent me 8 Cattleya and Laelia species flasks and in over 20 years of
orchid growing I have NEVER seen such impressive plants. Healthy and strong,
and the plant count- yikes!

The plant count is the reason for the title of my post

Any of you ever order a "hobby flask" and have it fill THREE 4 inch compots?

Me either.

And those 3 compots will have to be thinned to 8-10 compots once the plants get
bigger.

Not many people out there are going back to orchid growing's roots to breed
really fine Cattleya Alliance species.

Nice to know the guy doing it is doing one hell of a job.

Thanks Mick. I am looking forward to batch 2 in November, but space could
become a problem (though I do not expect any sympathy over that.)

Tom.

Hi list,

I'm about to make 4 more additions to my orchid collection, and was
wondering if someone with Wildcatt would mind looking up to see if any
of the following cultivars have garnered any awards:

Dtps. Tzu Chiang Key 'Lee'
Phal. Chingruey's Fancy 'New'
Phal. Nobby's Fox 'Super Star'
Phal. Fortune Saltzman 'Maple Bridge'

I think the last one has an AM/TOS, but I have no idea what TOS stands
for. If someone could clarify this as well, that would be greatly
appreciated.

TIA,
Xi

TOS = Taiwan Orchid Society, I believe.

Dtps. Tzu Chiang Key 'Lee'

No awards in teh most recent Wildcatt Cross is (Phal. Yungho Gelb Canary x
Dtps. Sogo Manager).

Phal. Chingruey's Fancy 'New'

The clone called 'Sa-Cha' has a CCM, which is awarded to the grower fro fine
growing, not the plant for its quality. Grex is (Sogo John x Brother Fancy)


Phal. Nobby's Fox 'Super Star'

No AOS awards (Buena Jewel x Penang Girl)


Phal. Fortune Saltzman 'Maple Bridge'

No AOS awards (Liu Tuen-Shen x Barbara Freed Saltzman)

Is your name Xi pronounced 'shi'? or 'she'? That would make you Xi Who Must
Be Obeyed.

Hi,
Thanks...I kinda figured these plants were too new to have anything.
All but the last one was registered in 2000, and I think Phal. Fortune
Saltzman was 1983. I'm not even sure that I want to get them all
actually (they may not all be in bloom at the nursery), it's just a
possibility....Tzu Chiang Key is a pale green, a colour which I don't
have yet, so if I get anything, that will be first on my hit list.

Oh, and to answer your question, there's no correct way to pronounce the
name in English. My friends usually call me 'C'. Oh the puns....

Cheers,
Xi
