Today I woke-up very early and went to CEAGESP (a great 'warehouse' that wholesale vegetables) to buy in the 'Flower Market', that works only at tuesdays and fridays (today is a "semi-holyday", 'cause yesterday was an official holyday), and of course I bought some beauties (2 pics each):

Blc Durigan (Blc Waianea Leopard x C Corcovado): several tipes & colors to sell in "Flores Vivas" box, I choosed this one 'cause it has a very good shape and is different from the one I have. (~U$ 25.00)

Anacheilium vespa: another one from "Flores Vivas" (~U$ 7.50)

Cochleanthes discolor: from "Vico" (~U$ 25.00)

Xylobium brachystachyum: my second Xylobium (I have colleyi), from "Vico" (~U$ 12.50)

A good shopping and good (except Cochleanthes, but I fall in love!) prices!

Very nice! I love the Cochleanthes discolor and I will need to read up on that type more. I don't have one of these cuties. Very pretty.
I am also a lover of the Blc. Durigan so guess I would have not hesitated to purchase either. And you got them all in blossom! Nice haul!
