| Thank you all for such a warm welcome! To answer some of your questions about species in my little collection...I have Phals, dendrobiums, oncidiums, miltonias, catts, paphs, some hybrids and a Chysis that I am really curious about. I received one of my dendrobiums as a gift (believed to be Dendrobium kingianum) and I have yet to see it bloom. It does however grow vegetatively quite rapidly and it is constantly throwing off new shoots from the terminal bract area of the shoots. The Chysis bractescens is one I would really like to see bloom. The pseudopods are 6-9" long and it is a relatively large plant. Any tips on these two problem children are especially appreciated. I'll try to post some pics when time allows and I can figure out how to do it. Thanks again for being so nice everyone. |
