New Orchid



It's not that I don't have enough orchids, it's just that I can't pass up a sale.

My friend Christine and I traveled all the way to Gorham, Maine last night to the Orchid society meeting, which was a vendor's auction to raise money for the club.

I bid on several, but do have my limits. I finally won the bid on a Epc.Midddleburg MAJ (c. bactiaxEpi phoenicum) which has several buds but none are open yet. It is a small deep red cattelya shaped orchid and I'm looking forward to seeing the buds open. It fits nicely on one of my window shelves. I've actually filled up the window. I can't buy any more.

I'll post the picture when it opens.
