Summer New Growths

This month has been full of growth. . . Last month everyone was dying, and this month they are growing  :)                                                                                                                                                                            


This is one of my rescued Dendrobiums. I've been watching this sheath emerge over the past couple of days. I can't wait to see what color this one is.

This is my white Dendrobium.  I believe by tomorrow you might be able to see the spike peek through :)

This is one of my rescued mini phals.  This one makes me extremely happy.  Just a couple of months ago this little guy was very wilted and over-watered. 

New Plants.

I just wanted to share my newest kids.  I ordered most of these from Clown Alley Orchids.

B. Little Stars
Onc. Heavenly Scent (Sweet Baby)  - In Spike
Rhyn. Gigantea Peach
Maxillaria Tenufolia
Blc. Mildred Hollingsworth Sun Bulb

I can't wait for some blooms.

More Rescues

So, I went back to Lowes this evening to see about getting the other "stressed" plants.  :)  Anyhow, I came home with four more.  I did remove these guys from their ceramic pots and placed them in some plastic ones for draining purposes.  I plan on re-potting them in bark later this week.  I wanted to give them some time to acclimate to my indoor climate.                        

                                                                             
There are two plants to each pot. The mini in the middle has a keiki on the remaining spike. 






My plan for my rescues is to get them back to "ideal" health and find new homes for the duplicates. :)

These are the cute ceramic pots that my 
rescues came in.  I really like them and I will probably put something non-orchid in them.






They I know they are worth more than what I paid for the plants.  

A New Group of Rescues

I went by Lowes yesterday for some supplies and noticed that they had SEVERAL sunburned phals and they didn't seem concerned at all.  I asked about their price and they told me to come back tomorrow and talk with a manger. Anyhow, I went back this morning and bought 4 of the worst of the lot for $0.75 each. They wanted way too much for the rest of them.  I may go back tonight and talk with the night manager (who I know pretty well) and see about the rest.     So here's what I brought home. . .

 

 I brought home two P. (Golden Peoker x Brother White Windian)

Both of these two are very sunburned, but they have nice roots and at least two green leaves.  

This one is P.( Salu Spot x Golden Peoker)


This poor baby is the worst of the group. 

I also brought homw one  P. Christina. 

 This  one has a couple good leaves and nice looking roots, but no blooms.  I'll post a pic soon. 

TWO New Cattleyas

Two new cats today.  Yay...
LC Pot love Passion ' island romance' and LC Tropical Pointer Cheetah.

New Growth Pics

My Emma White Dendrobium has a new cane that is such a welcome site. I was pretty cure that this plant hated me. I had repotted it in bark, but  for some reason it had started to wilt and just look pathetic.  This is such a welcome site.

 

This new spike just suddenly appeared out of the blue. This is one of my NOID rescues that has really perked up.

I swear this wasn't there a few days ago  :P

A new spike on my Haraella retrocalla.   I've been so happy with this plant. It's such a "cute" little guy.

A very welcomed bloom on one of my NOID rescues.

Still a crappy June :(

I'm in the process of working up a list of that plants I've lost and which are hanging on.  Most of the ones that I've lost were just so badly sunburned that they just shrivled. 

I've been praying that they will all send up a keiki or something, but so far. . . . nothing.
