Den. kingianum

   And here is another plant that I received from my friend. These two plants came in one pot, but as I was repotting, I found that they were two separate plants. As for the Phrag, this is my first attempt at a Dendrobium.

Phrag. Pink Fire

   After a long hiatus, I started attending my local orchid society in September. I'm glad I've done so, because it's always enjoyable to be surrounded by like minded people. I ended up going to visit with one of the original members I got to know, and I came home with a couple of divisions that she was kind enough to give me. The first of which is my first attempt at Phrags. This plant is a 4n cultivar, so I hope that it is more forgiving.

Asctm. miniatum

   And this is the last of the plants I picked up from Forestview. I've always admired this cute and compact plant. Hopefully I can get this to bloom eventually. I also decided to mount it. Even though this is supposed to dry quickly and thoroughly, I feel better using sphagnum in my environment.

Onc. Pacific Sunrise 'Hakalau'

   And the final one that I bought from Forest View. This is the plant that got me super interested in Oncidium fuscatum (syn. Miltonia warscewiczii). I would've been able to get one from Ecuagenera, but unfortunately I thought of things past the order deadline. However, it looks like this new lead will be much larger compared to the last. Weird thing is that it's producing new roots, but the lead itself hasn't changed since I bought it a month ago. Hopefully it doesn't sulk for too long.

Gom. Alosuka 'Claire'

   This is another plant that I bought from Forest View. I'm not sure when it'll bloom, as people rarely post pictures of the plants, and if so, it's difficult to get the proper perspective on it. It looks like it is just finishing up this bulb, as it is sending out some roots. I'm looking forward to it though, it it looks like it will be quite the show.

Phal. equestris

   This is one of the plants I picked up from my society's meeting last month from the visitor of Forest View Gardens. Simple species, but it's a cross between the yellow lipped variety and the blue lipped variety, so I'm expecting magenta or pink.

Phal. NoIDs

   Now normally I don't pick up NoIDs, but the large standard was bought for me by my ex, and the miniature harlequin I picked up when my orchid fever was starting to get bad.
