Talking Some new additions

I just got back from the Sydney International Orchid Fair, and came back with a few new additions to the family. My old man picked up a flask of Paph. pulsar X hsinying redjo, and i picked up 2 Phrags. The Phrags i have put on hold for over 3 months now and i was very grateful to pick them up today. First is a Phrag. Besseae 'Fire Ball' with 2 growths, and a Phrag Don Wimber (flowering plant - losed 2 flowers, but 2 new buds showing ). Im quite happy with what ive pickup today, wish there was more, but too pricey. But, i ordered some Phrag Kovachii to be pickup later in the year.

Here are some photos

Phrag. Don Wimber

Im in the process of deflasking, will have photos of the babies soon

Very healthy selection you pickup there! How many little babies are in that bag?
Can't wait to see the blooms from these!
