I cut back on my collection when I moved. Down to around 20 orchids now, but will be adding to them.

:Q

Nice! Do you germinate and grow from seed, or just buy?

Everything is bought, and I have propagated everything but the Phalanopsis and Phrags and Paphs by division. I had some seeds from a Psychopsis (or Oncidium) if you prefer (I hate orchid taxonomy) AKA Butterfly Orchid. Never did anything with it. The Zygo I posted a pic of is becoming rare, and as I have the facilities and knowlege I may do a meristematic cloning. It's a PIA though so I may and I may not

I see you have a Brassia Datacosa. One of my faves. The flower seems to have a strong citrus scent.

My wife germinated our Phalanopsis, all 8 of them.
We didnt know the blooms die shortly after being germinated. Needless to say it was a bit of a shock!

Were you able to get them to grow to plants?

Oh in one pic I see a hibiscus, and maybe a second? Pic #59. With the light, it is hard to tell, I was thinking that or a Euphorbia

Hibiscus. Wife really likes them.

My wife orders all her stuff from a grower in Florida. In fact she just had a semi come in last week I believe.
She met one of the growers while at the TPI convention, and uses them now.

Next time she has one come in I'll see if I cant get some pics. Have to talk to her to see when her next delivery is.
Like I said, my wife takes plants very seriously.
