I love Ecuagenera. I really wanted to go to the West Shore Orchid Society show, so that I could do some shopping, but I had too much going on last weekend. What plants did you get?

I love them too! I have gotten a fair number of plants from them over the years.

We were lucky to have Ivan as the speaker at our OS meeting last night and I did a small pre-order in prep of this visit. I ordered of a couple of Trichopilia - aenigma and laxa - and I ordered a couple of the B nodosa x C violacea seedlings. And then at the meeting, he had soooooo many plants that, naturally, I couldn't NOT do a little more shopping. I chose a really interesting cross of C luteola x Soph coccinea 'Yellow', and a C sincorana and, lastly, I grabbed up the last Den victoriae x Den laevifolium.

I don't have a lot of hybrid catts anymore but those crosses really appealed to me. The den cross should be gorgeous - same coloring as vic-reg but w/a more upright growth habit and it'll stay on the compact side.

Thanks for asking...and now, I'm off to get them all potted up.

BTW - bummer that you couldn't make the WS show...I heard it was excellent. I've yet to make it up there but one of these days I will.

Wow! You got some great stuff! I look forward to the pictures in the future, especially the Den cross!

Yea, I'm very pleased...and excited to see the future blooms. And, like you, especially w/the den. Getting those beautiful violet-blue flowers on a compact-ish, upright plant w/those purple-y canes - WOW! Ecuagenera always has some of THE coolest plants!
