I am going crazy, only one more day!

I can't wait! my order from Jerry should be here by tomarrow! Here is what I ordered:

1 Dend. Cathy Beck
1 Enc. Atronecium 'Mother's Day' x cordigera 'Chocolate Violets'
1 Phal {Naples Nights x (Petite Rose x Glad Melinda)}
1 Blc Haleahi Sunbow x C deckeri
1 Epi. Mabel Kanda 'Green Leaf'
1 Bc (Llittle Stars x Maikai) 'Hawaii'

Jerry said the Den. Cathy Beck is in bud and should flower in about a week!!! I can't contain myself! I got some new batteries for camera and I am all ready to take pictures!

That is so awesome!! I am still waiting for my little Cathy Beck to do ANYTHING!!!
I have two of the Naples Nights, one should be blooming soon, and the other is still trying to get over a problem with limp leaves. I think that they need a bit more light than other Phals.

My Bc Little Stars is growing like gangbusters! It had two small new growths when I got it and now they have doubled in size!
Make sure you post pics when you get them!

I will definitely post pictures when I get them! :-) should I start a new thread to post them and to do the updates or just post them all here? Hmmm... I guess I shouldn't have named it "I'm going crazy, only one more day". He also said the Blc Haleahi Sunbow x C deckeri should bloom for me this summer!!!

I'm envious. I want to buy buy buy! But as I said before, I am banned At least I get to enjoy what you bought Kortney. Sounds like you hit the jack pot. Can't wait to see pics.

I also recently got a Bc. (Little Stars x Maikai) 'Hawaii' in a 6" pot from e-bay. I should have checked the roots and re-potted. The poor thing started to rot and the leaves started to fall off. The I discovered that it had nice new fresh bark just on the top and the inside had no medium what so ever. Just a bunch of roots that were getting mushy!

Anyhow, I'm sure yours will come in better shape than mine did. I'm saving my $$$ so I can put in a order with Jerry too. He seems to have a great selection!

oh, I am banned for a while too! My family wants to (they say it jokingly) have an orchid intervention for me. They said I am addicted and I happily agreed! Only I want to buy more too!

Congratulation!!! I'm really excited for you! My Cathy Beck has some nice new growth, but no signs of a bloom.... There's a spike on my Naples Nights- I can't wait! I'll be looking forward to your arrival pics!!!

Fred, your too funny.
April, I don't think smiling is going to work anymore for me. I've used that weapon too many times. My husband has developed an immunity to it. Crying will be the next plan of action.

Solay, now that's funny. I reached that point with reptiles once and crying did work :-) Although after that one instance it didn't any more:-(

Oh, I'll bet you're ready to burst. I got a package today--three new Tolumnia Hope you get yours tomorrow--the plants I ordered from Jerry are doing great (Well, I will take the new root growth on my Naples Nights--she's not a fast grower, but everyone knows she has a mind of her own when it comes to speedy growth). Enjoy your new chids!
