Default MY WONDERFUL HAUL!!!

OK, so I am pretty much on Cloud 9 here!!! Not only did I get my phals that I ordered from Patrick of Kingfisher Orchids, (which included two freebies), but I have received 5 phals that a friend brought into Canada for me that originated from Peter Lin of Big Leaf Orchids!!! I AM SOO HAPPY!!! Let's start with pictures of the plants from Patrick!

Zuma's Pixie 'Midnight Magenta'


pallens 'Mellow Yellow'



Gelblieber 'Arienne' HCC/AOS


Freebie #1: Kuntrarti Rarashati 'Copperstate' HCC/AOS This guy has a ridiculously long spike with two flowers, one of which I pollinated with pollen from the pallens 'Mellow Yellow'



Freebie #2: Brother Ambo Passion (Hannover Passion 'Ching Ruey' x amboinensis 'KFO')

THE PLANTS FROM PETER!!!

Angdi Kolopaking (venosa x micholitzii) This wonderful plant has two wonderful spikes, and I can't wait to see it bloom!!


Hiroshima Tetratris with a nice developing spike!


Nobby's Green Eagle 'Yaphon' No spike but the plant looks super healthy!!!


(amboinensis x LD's Bear Queen) No spike either, but it is also super healthy!


And the one non-Taiwanese plant" violacea ('Joy' x 'Lavender')

Great haul!
I have reserved a flask from Kingfishers, waiting for weather to warm up more before shipping and working on the rest of the list.

Its easy to see you're super excited Cody. I would be to. I've got a few of them same you just received, they're either in spike or blooming. Very happy with Patricks plants they grow well too.
Of course -- who wouldn't be thrilled with Peters orchids.
Great haul Cody -- Congrats!

Very nice! And good luck with your cross.

I should have snapped up one of those violacea 'Joy' x violacea 'Lavender' while Peter still had some listed. (sigh)

Cheers.
Jim
