Hey Folks,

We did indeed have a great time...and i really enjoyed meeting Suzanne, Laura and Dana...and Dana's husband Scott.

I actually carried my camera around all day, but took only 3 photos in the botanical garden and none at the show...go figure...I was too interested in trying to stay ahead of Dana who was getting all the best stuff.

...including that beautiful Paph. bellatulum.

Anyway, here is what I added to my collection from our visit to the Tampa Show:

From Suzanne:

Smbc. Jewel Osment
Phal. stuartiana
Den. moschetum
and a cute little piece of a lifesaver plant...in bloom!

From the show:

Bulb. A-doribil Anna Roth (in spike with 4 buds)
Milt. Xenia's Cove (2 very fragrant blooms)
Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' FCC/AOS (in spike and with 2 new growths)

I will post pics tomorrow...er...later today.

Here are some of mine in list order. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the three David gave to me, the Den kingianum from Dana or the last three from the sale

I'll add them tomorrow

*Just checked for a hybrid name in Orchidwiz on Schom undulata x B nodosa and found that Schom undulata is now L undulata...and the cross of B nodosa x L undulata is known as Bl Caribbean Holiday

Isn't that Phal. stuartiana foliage interesting!?!?! I love that plant!

You made some really great choices, David! You helped me BIG TIME with my new babies too!

Thanks Dana, I'm glad I could help

....and I agree with you about the foliage on the Phal. stuartiana. It is very cool. The only other phal I've seen this on is schilleriana. I have a really nice one of those...maybe I should use it as a pod parent this coming winter when it blooms, and see what I get for foliage on the offspring.

...maybe a real

Wow, Jenn, now that I look at what I typed I see your confusion! There are two flowers on three spikes and 1 flower on another spike with yet another spike forming...

The last picture is of a Tolumnia sylvestris -

We wish you could've come too! It really was a lot of fun!!

Oh! Thanks for clearing those things up. I thought my Bublo was a huge underpreformer. Glad to know it is "normal". You will be very happy with it. Mine about tripled after one year!
