Dozen new minis from Longwood Show

[Sun rm.N.E.]

Thanks Susanne, Laura, Dana, Ron, Ross, Sakkai and all of my Minis enablers. I could not have done this without you.

I did not buy any orchids for nearly a year because of space limitations. Instead I kept looking at the gorgeous minis posted on these forums, asked questions and assembled a "realistic " Wish List. Seemed like, a harmless learning experience at the time. I was stunned to find all of them, and more, at the Longwood Gardens Orchid Show.

As soon as I arrived I landed in the tent of Andy Phillips, who I had never met before, when he and his assitsants had no other customers and were just waiting. I was naive. I don't think I have to say any more.

And from the lovely ladies at J&L, a source for successful plants for me.

And, of course I had to talk to my friends at H&R, who bread more than half the orchids I can actually grow.

Leptotes bicolor seedlings( I already have one but I want to grow some more for just for fun )
Den. junceum (strange looking seedling with thin, terete leaves)
