Thanks Dave! I just ordered from Andy's. I can't wait until next Friday!

Thanks again for your hard work, Dave.

I just ordered my Miltonia and Leptotes from Andy's. I also ordered a TC--

Lemboglossum (Odontoglossum) / bictoniense-- this is a species I've been wanting for a long time! I hope to eventually use it for some crosses I've been dreaming about

Nice choice on the TC Bingo. I'm still trying to decide what TC's I will get.

[Keltera]

i will be getting mine after the 25th

I ordered mine from Andy's also. In addition to the Miltonia and Leptotes, I ordered

Dendrobium cuthbersonii
Dendrobium limpidum

I think I found a spot in my intermediate house that never exceeds about 75 so I thought I would give these a shot.

Wish me luck!

Excellent additions Harry. I know they are grown outside in Calf. so I think they will work out fine for you.

It's arrived

Mine is mounted, I know you guys buying from Andy's are getting them potted but the place I bought from in Germany is selling them mounted.

This is my first mounted orchid, so that's going to be an extra challange. It's also my first species orchid (altough a potted Masd. veitchiana was it's TC, remains to be seen if I can keep that cool enough).

It looks healthy I think. Not as big as the ones Katie and Sheridan showed on the Poll thread, but it has 4/5 psuedo bulbs (one quite small) as well as a further 4 new growths of varying size.

Pictures will be later when I get home (they were delivered to my office so no camera).

I'm really excited, I hope you guys think it looks healthy and alright when you see it
