NO HE would tell you because he wouldn't want to live the hell he would get.

I know that much this orchid stuff is dangerous and sometimes frightening

Doesn't work for me, my hubby works at the same place and because he has PC's delivered all the time gets called to the door for most deliverys.

Foiled again :evil: :rofl:

I went to the orchid show in London on the weekend, I was only going to pick up one order from Cloud's. I wasn't going to buy anymore plants, some books if they had what I wanted. No books, and of course I just had to get one plant in flower(has 6 spikes, 3 in bloom, and 3 just spiking out) and it smells kinda like a spicy rose. http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...h_110_1024.jpg, and I got my Phal Mini Mark Holm (has a flowered spike, will it branch?) I got a little carried away :blushing::blushing: ended up with a dozen orchids total..:blushing::blushing: Hubby wasn't even upset said he got lots of his toys off eBay, and I don't get upset so fair is fair. I have a very understanding Hubby.:biggrin: Did I mention it was a 2 hr drive to the show:evil: which was closer then the 4 hr drive to Cloud's Orchids.

The answer is in the last sentennce Hubby riding home and 2 Hrs. With only 1 orchid.

The one order from Cloud's was for nine plants. B Little Stars 'Yasuji Takasaki', Bllra Tropic Slendor 'Golden Gate' AM/AOS, Cyclopogan lindleyanus 'Silver Screen' CBR/AOS, Cym ensilfolium v. Tie Gu Su Xin, Den anosmum, Lc Angel's Treasure'Hawaii', Onc Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' AM/AOS, Pot Richard Young 'Cariad's Colette',Slc India Rose Sherwood 'Kilani', plus the Phal Mini Mark Holm, the one with all the spikes pictured, and a promeneae. So the total number of orchids purchased was a nice even dozen. Total travel time, round trip over 4 hrs.:biggrin:
Like I said a very understanding Hubby.

I have a question for you. I went to Green Acres a couple weeks ago and bought several orchids. 3 of the vandas have JVB in them. They are all rather tall, very nice looking plants but, all 3 show no signs of having bloomed before. What do you know about JVB and is it difficult or slow to bloom?

She grows her vandas it pots and I prefer hanging wood baskets. It took me a while to repot 8 vandas. I ran out of baskets and had to place an order 3 for more. They are all repotted now. I took a while because I always try to remove 1 or 2 slats from the bottom to be able to thread the long roots through.

I just love Cindy, she is so nice and great to deal with. Sometimes you need to wait for an answer to an e-mail because she is a fire fighter and works long hour streches at a time.

I'm not sure this is my first time with Vandys I got these yesterday from Cindy 2 of these show signs of blooming they are 3 1/2 ' tall Man you talk about blending the new with the old ain't no way to hide these.

Bob, I do that all of the time. UPS was at my house twice this week. I got Dendrobium Aussie's Chip in a 3" pot and only five inches tall with lots of flowers and buds and also several other interesting things.

You must post pics of the Dr. Anek hybrids. They are sure to be stunning.

I am posting a pic of the Den. before the packing was removed. I was inspired to order this plant because of one of the posts on this forum like a lot of other plants I have gotten.This forum causes compulsion. Does anyone else have this "illness"?

Marilyn, V. JVB (Josephine Van Brero) grows to be a very large plant but once it obtains flowering size it flowers two or three times a year where I live. It is 1/2 Vanda teres so that is why it grows so tall.

Beverly, you made reference to the next project. Tell me about it please.

Thats a beautiful plant really healthy
