All about my 'chids.

[psyc1210]

Ok...where to start.

I've been growing orchids for a year now. I started out with a NOID Phal from Home Depot. I had been eyeing Phals for a while, and my mom surprised me with one, as a housewarming gift since I had just bought my first house. Then she got me another Phal as a b-day surprise. I also bought two Cattleyas from Lowe's, a Dendrobium from Lowe's, and then purchased a Phal Mini Mark 'Holm' off ebay. My mother loved my mini so much that I got one for her, which she has yet to take home because she's afraid she'll kill it

From that point I continued acquiring more and more..I currently have 21...ok, 22 if you count my mom's mini, hehe.

So my current list is

3 Phal NOIDs
1 Paph NOID
1 Paph Pink Sky
1 Cattleya Otaara Hwa Yuan Bay
1 Blc. Fritz Nikolaus 'Spring Dance'
1 Dendrobium Thongchai Gold
1 Phal Brother Sara Gold
1 Phal Schilleriana
1 Phal Hilo Lip 'Newberry'
1 Phal Hilo Lip 'Mendenhall'
1 Phal Fantasy Musick
1 Phal Hieroglyphica
1 Phal Amabilis
1 Milt Hajime Ono 'Black Falls'
1 Milt Lillian Nakamoto 'Tanto'
1 Phal Yu Pin Pearl 'Rachel'
1 Milt Stephen Slaughter X Ambre
2 Phal Mini Mark 'Holm'
1 Dendrobium Jac Concert X Big Red

I think that's it!! For now....

I know I have more, but I didn't write them all down I'll have to track them down again.

I am proud to announce that as my Mother's Day gift, I was "allowed" to order a couple from my wish list. I ordered Sc. Crystelle Smith 'Aileen' (instead of 'B.K. Orchids'), and I also got a Paph Maudiae X neon, and then threw in a Masdevallia guttulata 'Spots' X self. I ordered from Angel Orchids, the waiting begins.

OOOOO! Let us know when they arrive! At least there's no problem waiting for the weather at this time of year!

The lower case means species but there's no species by the name of Paph neon. Also there's no Paph Neon (hybrid in case the lower cap was a typo). There are 2 paphs with names containing the word "neon":

Paph Neonlight
Paph Neon Lights

I looked on their website and the pic ppears to be a green Maudiae of some type. Maybe they can tell you what the "neon" parent is. Otherwise it'll just be a pretty green Maudiae-type noid.
