| Good things come to those who wait! As for me, I'm waiting for my delenatii and my Ho Chi Minh to BLOOM! They're blooming size now and so they should get around to blooming some time...any time....hopefully this winter when I let them get cold. I also have the other parent of Ho Chi Minh, which is Paph vietnamense, but these plants are only seedlings so I probably have another 2-3 years to wait for them to bloom. But hopefully what I said for you will be true for me too, good things come to those who wait.

| Jenny I was just looking at all the lists and just now saw that you updated your list! You more than doubled your orchid collection!! Where are you putting these?? You said you put them near a window, do you have them on racks or what? How do you keep your humidity up? I also have increased my collection. I have to stop....don't I?...Probably not! You have two Paphs now don't you? How is that new one doing? I talked to Jerry this week and am getting another Paph, Maudiae hybrid the green one! He also said he had 2 more like what he sent you only BIGGER! I am thinking!! You need more Paphs, I love Paphs, they are my favorites!

| Joe~ I know! It's such a bummer too. I so have my eyes laid on a Celtic Frost. April~All of my babies are on a rack or chest that sits by an East window. Humidity has been the biggest battle in my apartment. It usually runs in the 40's with the temp in the upper 70's, making it dry. Sahara desert like is what I call it. As for the new Paph, GO FOR IT!!! Hehehhe, Yeah Jerry said all three were real monsters, we were worried about getting one into a box. ![]() Patti~ Ho Chi Minhs are just way cool. But alas, mine didn't bloom. It skipped out on me. ![]()

| I think it is hilarious when growers from back east or midwest think 40% humidity is bone dry! 50% is the max I can obtain with humidifiers and pebble trays and that will drop considerably with summer coming. My orchids have adapted just fine and since there is nothing I can do about it I stopped messing with it.BTW - Jenny is a bad influence on everyone.

| I told my husband about my new purchases, and he said again, that I don't have THAT much space, and that I DID'NT need to fill up all the space in the house! I will try to stop, I will try to stop.....I will.......... I have one or two...more Paphs that I am sure I REALLY need!
