Thanks Ray. Can you clarify just how waterproof. Could it handle getting soaked once every day or two?

Speculation on my part.
I’d say most are exported.
They sell online through their website.
And they sell on EBay.
They may do shows - I rarely get to orchid shows so I don’t know.

Actually I don’t have access. No-one does. Barita doesn’t allow visitors, has no sales outlet, doesn’t do open days. Strictly wholesale, online or export. It’s also rare to see them for sale locally....

And it’s out

Now it’s open.
Unseasonal is good. There isn’t much else flowering here.

A couple of leaves on the left have some issues. I’m hoping it’s just sunburn, though they are tough little plants and I...

Welcome, from the Central Coast in NSW.
I imagine Miltonopsis will grow well in your climate, or any hybrid with a lot of Miltonopsis in it. Also any of what used to be classified as Ondontoglossum....

I looked at my plants a week ago and got a nice surprise. One of them has a spike. The photo is a week or two old and it looks now like it’s about a week short of flowering. It’s a surprise because I...

When I’m rehabilitating dehydrated Oncidiums I put a few strands of sphagnum moss in the mix - not much so as not to impede air movement. Then I wind quite a bit more on the surface. Once it’s...

So caught in the act

For the last few years every Oncidium spike in our shadehouse has been monstered by something. Sometimes the cattleyas cop it as well. It eats just the actual flower bud, ignoring the spike and the...

Yep, new bark can be hydrophobic. I think these need a lot more moisture then one usually gets in bark. I wind sphagnum around the top of the media and that retains the water for a full extra day,...
