I have 5. Yep, 5. All but one are seedlings. I have 1 Lowe's $5 special Lc Goldigger 'Fuch's Mandarin" that is putting out new roots like crazy. I also have a cross that has never been made/bloomed before as far as the local growers can tell (C. Tripp Johnston x C. caudebec), also sending out some new roots lately. Then there are my two babies that I dote over. C. walkeriana v. coerulea 'Dona Yolanda' and C. walkeriana v. alba 'Lester x Walker'. All the seedlings are mounted and in a 10-gallon seedling orchidarium that sits in a west window. The 5th plant is a C. skinnerii that has been in the fam for more than 50 years.

Hi Chris...I've moved your initial entry into our Introductions forum so more of our members get the chance to say hi

Welcome to Orchidboard

Sounds like you've got a nice little starter collection.
I'd love to see some pics of what you've got so far

If you have any questions, feel free to ask...somebody will help you

What part of Florida are you from?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Thanks guys! I wondered where my post had disappeared to. I'm going to work on getting my hands on a digital camera to take some photos.

St Pete! Wow. My Dad lived there till he moved over to Lutz a few months ago. I still have a love for Sunken Gardens.
