Lake Shinsei

Will see what I can do about photos. The tigrinum is probably just flowering sized. Got my order in a bit too late. I was after a flowering sized mastersianum as well, but missed out. :(

Some pictures of my new plants.

Plus last photo is Gemenii x rothschildianum left outside in full summer sun for a day or two. Forgot its sunscreen. :eek:


Sorry about pic quality. :(

They all look very nice. Sorry about your last one that got burned! I think it should be ok.

Yes, very nice new plants. That plant should be fine, it's only a matter of time when new leaves replace the older leaves. I have had my share of plants that I had accidently left in full afternoon sun and they got burned.

This year my Booth's Sand Lady got burned because I accidently left it in full direct afternoon summer sun and the tip of two leaves got burned but other than that, it is fine.

Have to agree with that.

Although it got sunburnt it has nealy doubled in size in the last six months.
Who said orchids are hard to grow. :confused:

We must pray that Peter's malipo spike doesn't get so tall that it breaks when he moves it!
Be careful, Peter!!!!

When I first started growing orchids I read that Dens need a lot of light ....... I put 8 of them on the east side of my home, under a rather large overhang. Big mistake, they fried. :confused: I learned the hard way.

Who is that in bud, 3rd picture, front left?

I have left a beautiful Phrag out after watering in fall and it froze.:mad:
