Obsession increasing almost daily!

[Mndaddy12]

I'm fairly new to orchids, within the last 4 months. My favorites are phals. I have 3 at the moment. A white phal that just finished flowering, a mini I believe to be badan's kaleidoscope (which I successfully hand pollinated from the white phal), and a bellina. I also have a compot of bellina's on their way from Malaysia, and convinced my girlfriend we needed another white phal

Glad you found us!

Welcome to OB. Sounds like you really jumped in to the obsession!

Baldan's Kaleidoscope is not a mini - mine is at least 5 years old, has about 15 leaves and is a giant.
If you really want to blow your mind, go to a nursery that specialises mainly in orchids - you will be like a kid in a candy store


meant to add that I also pollinated my Baldan's - the seed capsule is relatively large - about 4" - and is now almost 6 months old, nearly ready to send to the lab.

Thanks everyone! I really don't know what I've gotten myself into, but it's exciting! I'm currently doing plenty of research and plan on trying to flask on my own.
