Well, I wasn’t planning on messing about much with trading anything anytime soon, but I’ve been thinking increasingly often of getting rid of a couple things . . . and it’ll turn frosty here pretty soon.
These aren’t “must-go” items, but I thought I’d check to see if anybody was excited about them. I’ll be glad to consider trades or purchase, but likely prefer trades. For trades, I’ll consider anything, but lately it’s been primarily slippers that I’ve been excited about.

The List:
(all previously bloomed)

Phal. cornu-cervi
Phal. (Penang 'Pinkfilligree' x Green Mist 'Khong')
Sophrolaeliocattleya (Tangerine Jewel ‘Southern Cross’ x Lc. Rojo)
Keikis:
Cal. vestita var. fournerii
Catasetum Jumbo Eagle (sanguineum 'E.T.' x expansum 'Jumbo')

The List, with details and photos and stuff:
Ilonara Orchidom Crisp Choice (Rodrumnia Choice Show x Gomesa crispa 'Bess' CCM/AOS)
Strange hybrid. That’s why I got it. Not exactly spectacular. Mature, many growth plant.
First blooming. As you can see in the background, it suffered a savage bunny attack.
Bl. Sarah Black (B. nodosa x L. lundii)
One view, and
another. Cute thing, but I’m not terribly into it.
Laeliocatonia Lawless Gloriana (Lc. Gold Digger x Ctna. Why Not)
Bloom. Mini-Catts aren’t my thing, I guess. Bloomed it out, and now I’m ready to send it on to someone who’ll love it more.
Phal. cornu-cervi
Has an active spike right now; it’s been going for two or three years now (taking breaks over the winter). On the ‘botanical’ side of things, for a Phal at least. Losing one of its basal offshoots; I’m not sure why.
Blooms.
Phal. (Penang 'Pinkfilligree' x Green Mist 'Khong')
Whole plant. The pot is just under 9" across. It’s got 15 leaves on it right now, three old spikes with active branching and budding (one old spike has 5 points of active growth), and I’m fairly certain that there are two new spikes just initiating. It’s a “green” background flower (looks more like white to me though) with more or less dense red spotting.
Here’s a nice prior blooming, and the
current blooms (not as nice).
As might be obvious, I’m somewhat reluctant to let this one go. But I just don’t like Phals that much, nice a plant as this is. So, I guess, this is the “big ticket item” on the list.
Sophrolaeliocattleya (Tangerine Jewel ‘Southern Cross’ x Lc. Rojo)
Again, I’m just not into mini-Catts. Mature plant, currently in sheath. Last blooming was a total of 10 blooms on two inflorescences, semi-successive, N.S. of 5.7cm. Shape isn’t great – not very flat – but
the color is hard to fault.
Keiki:
Cal. vestita var. fournerii
I broke the top off one of the bulbs. Again. The broken off bit will put out new starts, if given humidity and sphag.
Blooms. This is a very robust clone, at least twice the size of my other Cal. vestita.
Catasetum Jumbo Eagle (sanguineum 'E.T.' x expansum 'Jumbo'). A keiki with some nice roots.
------------------------------------------
I'll add a couple more things to the list tomorrow. There are a couple of Bulbos which I am reluctant to part with, but which would be ever so much happier in a greenhouse environment.
Trade plants, asst.
