It's here, it's here - I survived the wait
My order arrived from New World.
Darwinia Neofinetia 'Furankohai'
Sedira japonica 'Nagoran"
Neo Gojyo fukran
Neo Shu Ten Nou
I got restless waiting for the mail man so I took this picture of my Phrag Giganteum (Grandea 'Giganteum' ('Gigantea' 4N X caudatum var. sanderae). This is the first blooming.

and now it's all anti-climatic..........LOL, hope you have another order in the works!!
The Neo's look great, I love the Japanese style of potting them. Hope mine comes that way, if not, I think I will attempt it. Hmmmmmmm, must be a small bottle around here somewhere.
That Phrag Giganteum is just plain SUPER, have to try one of those but have killed one Phap and am working on the second, guess I'll wait awhile for a Phrag.

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.)

Woohoo! Congratulations! Seeing that you ordered three makes me wish I hadn't behaved and only purchased one....but I purchased two others from ebay back in January/February so I guess that kind of makes of for it...lol.

I find that phrags are so easy to grow. They respond better to my conditions than my paphs. They just like a lot of light and water. |

Ok. I went from pouting to panic. I went downstairs for my ice cream and as soon as I hit the kitchen there was a knock at the door. It was one of the village postal carriers (not mine). He had accidently picked up my box from New Worlds this morning in his haste to get out the door and was dropping it off for me. I was grateful and then he says that my carrier yelled at him right before he came down because she knows when I have a package its a plant and not to leave it on the steps in extreme cold or heat and just to leave me a note and I'll come up and get it. Well lets just say that its a good thing that it was the neo's. The had been in his truck all morning and its in the lower 40's here today. They are COLD. Being they are pretty temp tolerent Im hoping they'll be fine. Its been a long week and my nerves are frazzled, don't need to add orchid drama to it. Anyways, here is my picture contribution. One of them was supposed to be Amami Island, but the tag says Amami Furan, I don't know if its a mix up or just another name for the same plant. Either way, Im happy. Its HUGE in comparison to the other one and the little one is the one I really wanted so no harm done.
