Onc. Twinkle 'Ember'

   And now we're on to a different set of plants. This coming set were purchased for me by a friend at the Montréal show back in October. The first of which is an Onc. Twinkle with a colour combination I haven't really seen before. The downside to that is there doesn't seem to be much of a fragrance compared to other Twinkle cultivars.

E. cordigera

   And the fourth plant I picked up from my friend is a near mature sized E. cordigera 'Pink Lip'. It doesn't look like this newest growth is going to bloom, unless I'm mistaken on it's blooming schedule, but I guess we'll see. It also seems to have started a small new lead off of one of the older p'bulbs.

Epi. Lovely Valley

   Another new type for me from my friend. This is a complex reed-stem Epidendrum hybrid that has adorable pink flowers.

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.
