Unfortunately, I could only afford a 2 growth on the Kikotome...more would have been another $100 so yeah...I'm good with 2...LOL.

Jenny let me know when you find a good place to panhandle, I'll be joining you lol!! I looked in my orchid fund jar to see if I have enough for a violacea alba, and what I found was very sad.

April -- I believe you surpassed me. I'll check my count when I get home tomorrow (Friday) evening.

Therese -- Oh, those are nice new additions. Two growths on the Kikotome is better than one.

Kinkosei

Here is the picture of my New Neo Kinkosei.

I got it from Satomi and it really has a nice look to it. I have it in the East facing window so with the morning sun on the leaves it really shows off the design.

I have just enough for a couple of orchids. Maybe two if I play my cookies right.

I'll let you know when I find the perfect spot

The leaves have a kind of varigation where they thin out so the light shines through them. It is really cool.

I am going to use one of the new bonsai pots that are coming for this one. I think it will look really nice in a purple one!

Forget panhandling. I'll need more money than that for all the orchids on my wish list. Like my husband likes to say, I might have to sell my body at the street corner to get extra money. Ha! Ha! Ha!

I've been dying to buy one each of all the Tolumnias from Hausermann's web site for the longest time. One of these days, I'll lose control and end up buying them. I'm trying to wait until my g/h is ready and I got the environment just right. Temptation is so hard to resist!!!
