O.K., so one way to beat cabin fever is to brighten up the cabin!

Here is Phal. Sogo Pearl and a pale yellow Phal. NOID that just begged to come home with me. If anyone can ID the NOID it would love to have a name.
Now who could resist something as pretty as these?

Hi Al!

I would just call her Delightful!

I have cabin fever also. I plan to travel to Augusta tomorrow for maintenance on my Vehicle and I have to go past the road to Longfellow's Greenhouse. Fortunately, my vehicle doesn't know how to get past that road without turning in there. Automatic pilot. I know they'll have some nice orchids there....I can smell them from here.

Yes yes, cabin fever is going around. I can't wait.....can't wait to say, "Well, hello ladies!" and see which one owns me.

The pictures really loose quality when I have to down size them for a post. They are in my gallery in desk top wallpaper size.

I'm going to have to find this Longfellow's place you talk about.

Hi Al, It's actually in Manchester, I think, on my way to Augusta. It's on Puddledock Road and they have a website. It's an amazing place. Many houseplants along with orchids, bonsai, and anything else you can think of. It has a huge selection of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals in the spring. Yes, worth the trip.
Make a day of it. Prices are not bad. Orchids are priced typically. They have a great supplier because their plants are usually in big pots and well established.

Yup! My limited space is reserved for Paphs right now. Nothing against Phals (I have one in bud right now) but space is an issue. Nice plants anyways

Completely understand! My space is quickly disapearing also (hence the shelving unit I asked you about). Phaps, Phrags and Dens hate me anyway, so I stick to something that I can grow. I think we all do the same in one way or another. Met a lady the other day who was loading her shopping cart with Dens. I asked her if they did well for her and she raved about how well they grew but pointed to some Oncs and said those d**n things won't live for me!
