Update on "What Next"

[tizzycat]

Back from the specialist grower and posting pics as requested.

They didn't have much in bloom as they just had a string of shows and exibitions, but do you think I came home empty handed

And, do you think I managed to come away with just one plant

This is what I bought:



First Choice:

Paphiopedilum - Malipoense x conco-del (£15.00)- I really would have liked at maudiae but they didn't have any, so this will be a surprise when it blooms.

And this one jumped into my hand as I walked by No honestly there was nothing I could do to stop it......

Odontoglossom Beallara Tahoma Glacier - not a huge plant but relatively cheap at £8.00 - this will also be a surprise (although I have sneaked a look on the Easy Orchid site)

Also managed to get some bark withough any additives

I was quite impressed with their prices as I've paid more than this for unnamed phals at garden centres.

So all I need to do now is care for them, be patient and post some more pics when they finally bloom.
