Species club

[skipper]

How does one go about getting into the Phal. species club? I just recieved a Phal violacea and a Phal bellina from Oak Hill Gardens, and I would like to join the others that grow these plants. Thanks

Sorry...it's all full up. You can put your name on the waiting list though.

Joking!! Seriously though...what species club are you referring to? I'm lost. Are you talking about the growing project, maybe?

[koshki]

Full??!! I just got 5 species phals today! Whaddayamean full!!

I already have six, and have another six coming! If you are talking about the member's project, I think I could technically join . . . I do have three violacea! An in-bloom var. Sumatra, var. alba growing a spike, and a small non-Norton var. coerulea seedling!

Katherine -- awwww too bad...guess you should've gotten them sooner. LOL!

If it's the member's project plants thing that you guys are talking about then I believe anyone can join...even now. As long as the plants are about the same size...I think that was the only stipulation. It's just a fun group where everyone will compare different growing techniques/conditions/etc/etc.

Here are the currently active 4 growing projects...

Dale, it's not off the mark! It's actually kind of cute! It is like a club...but we need a secret handshake or something. Can you devise one for us?

You're doing it again...teasing us by saying that you have X amount of orchids on the way, but we don't know what they are!!

I am talking about the Bulbo's! There are 5 species, 3 primaries, and 1 primary x species. I am also getting an Epc. Kyoguchi 'Fumi' and a bonus seedling for spending over $100!

Koshki, I not so sure about the handshake, but maybe we could all bring our check books and the balance will show you are in the club. I am retired, and between this hobby and sailing, the old check book takes a real bath. I just hope the plants grow fast, because I'm not getting any younger. I will say though, the two plants I got from Oak Hill Gardens were $10.00 each, and that is a real nice price. The plants look real nice.

Dale, we used to be power boaters...anytime my husband even hints about what this hobby costs, I just remind him that it will take MANY years of growing orchids to cost us as much as ONE year of boating did!

I justify to my family by saying at least I don't spend $15 a day on cigarettes. Plus, this smells a lot better
