Den. moniliforme purchases
 

Dr. Lehr from New World Orchids gave us a tour of Japan orchids today and I decided to take a few home.

Here they are.

Den. ?Tan Cho Zuru? (this one needs further translation - see the ID forum) Nice variegated leaves.

Den. moniliforme Ginsetsu (this one will bloom white with a green throat).

Den. moniliforme Kougetsu (this one will bloom yellow).

Den. moniliforme Benibotan (this one will bloom bright red in a tulip shape).

Den. moniliforme Yumedono (this one will bloom light pink with an orange throat).

Sophronitella violacea (it is a mini for sure - the link to the bloom makes it look large).

Congrats on your new purchases :)

Nice score. Were they expensive ?

Here is his website and the prices are listed.

I pre-ordered so I saved on shipping and he gave a small discount for the pre-order too so that was very nice.

New World Orchids Dendrobium moniliforme

Thanks for the link :D

Im coveting his collection of 4n Sophrinitis coccineas. Still. and Yet still ;). I dont want to spend 50 bucks on a plant just to see if I can kill it before the charge comes in on the CC.

the "mounted seedling" from one of all your favorite vendors was about the size of a hair follicle. I needed a 40x glass just to see it. Lasted a few days before it dried out and shriveled up..I should have just rolled that 20 dollar bill up and smoked it.

Good looking dends there :)

RJsquirrel, what vendor do you refer to? I suspect is one that also sells on ebay and has nice species but they look like they belong to a flask more than to a pot.

anyway i saves some seedlings by putting inside a jar with lid like this
SLOM Jar with lid - 17 oz - IKEA

(a bit taller) amd some sphag and chips / leca in it.

I add some peroxide to keep it free of molds.

I had a small Bulbophyllum in it that was dying and now it has new growth. I keep it sealed for days.

I have a larger one where i put a Ficus religiosa seedling and a leafless 3" broken piece of vanilla orchid and a similiar piece of Ludisia discolor and they are all growing new roots and leaves.

it could probably work with too small seedlings.

Anyway did not mean to highjack the thread. Sophronitella violacea seems great!

How the heck do you order? Do you just email them?

I love the moniliforme Ginsetsu and moniliforme Benibotan.

I want to get a Dend so bad. Its weird that I just love the look of the leafless canes. Just beautiful to me.

Just send him an email. Dr Lehr is really nice.

Very nice! Those are beautiful Dens you have. I'm going to order from Dr. Lehr in a few months. I need to let my orchid fund build up.

he has a new 2012 price list out also I trust you all got it? ouch
