Smile Birthday orchids
Well, I went to Carter and Holmes yesterday for a pre-birthday trip and picked up two newbies. They are Epi Sun Valley 'Mango Sorbet' x Pacific Sunsplash 'Gnarly' and Phal. Martha Dolge 'Apricot'. Any tips on raising the Epi would be appreciated. Lisa

Happy Birthday, Lisa!!!!! Love the Epi's colors!

Epis like a few hours of sun and to be moist.

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! How nice! Happy birthday also! I can't wait to go to Carter & Holmes this summer. I'm going when I visit my sister in Columbia, SC- I know that I'm getting a Phal and one other plant.( my husband says, "2 plants, yea, right"?) I'm so excited to see yours! Your Martha Dolge 'Apricot' is beautiful! I love the lip! I was looking at one with a red lip in their catalog. I figure I will know the plants when I see them... I LOVE Carter & Holmes. They're my favorite!
