Great Blooms





Finally I have posted a pic of my Paph Pinocchio which is currently in bloom.

Gentiana sino-ornata is a great little gentian species from China which blooms in the fall (which is irregular for gentians). It has needle-like foliage.

Finally we have some pics of some orchids I just bought today, a mini Dendrobium and a Doritis pulcherrima, at the OSA meeting. I also picked up a couple Phrags, Mem. Dick Clements (besseae x sargentianum) and Mem. Dick Clements flavum (besseae flavum x sargentianum). These are both in bud. I can't wait until the Calgary show in 2 weeks, when I can have a real shopping spree! I just ahd to get my orchid fix today though; it's been a long time since the society last had a meeting.
