Ever write down orchid wish lists? I was cleaning off my desk (yeah, that was my first mistake) and found many tiny scraps of paper tucked amongst the piles of bills and other things I intend to get to one of these days. Mostly they contain the usual: titles of books and songs to purchase but I also stumbled across Den. cucumerianum and Poly(radnis?) sallenii ( a relative of the Ghost Orchid).



Its June 1st, the wallet's fat (Yeah, that's the second mistake).



I feel the heat of orchid lust a-rising.



Must. not. reach. for. credit. card.

Out of all those slips of paper you only had two orchids written down? What's wrong with you? I thought you were a fellow orchid addict? :-)

Sure, here is my current shopping list:

Epi falcatum Schoenorchis fragrans Encyclia radiata Tuberolabium kotoense Angraecum (all or any) Den linguiforme senile quadrangulare ? aggregatum Neofineta falcata in bloom

Any spelling errors are due to medication.

Robert,

I can help....

Schoenorchis fragrans and Encyclia radiata I saw today at Al's Greenhouse. They were small and I promise he won't rip you off.

For the Angraecum try Cal Orchids in Santa Barbara. I was there last week and it was a most beautiful experience. Lauris and James Rose are really nice people with some really great looking plants. They have a website or you can google them and call. Most of their plants are not on the web. They have a lot of Angraecum and Aerides and other Africans.

Go for it.

Ah! But what orchids they are! Imagine if I wanted a Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope or Colm Wildcatt...

Ok, I have got to ask. How do you make it in a week to two great ghs a continent apart? Good recommendations.

Wish list - I gave up. I keep falling for the same ones - so I carry (or John does for me) the list of what we own. I still have several triplicates. SuE

Sue,

It's better than that....I was in Orlando the week before and visited Tropic

1....The next week to Cal Orchids in Santa Barbara....then home to visit Al.

I have this false sense of space since a lot of plants are spending the summer outdoors. Boy am I in trouble when October gets here.

Good Growing, Gene
