It's Coming Along...

The Paph delenatii spike I posted on exactly one week ago has grown an inch. There appears to be a second bud forming underneath the large one.

Coming Soon: Selenipedium aequinoctiale

Selenipedium is a genus of only a few species of slipper orchids from Central and South America. They are gargantuan plants with small flowers, and very difficult to cultivate, so they are very difficult to find on the market. However, I think they are really special, and I am determined to become one of the few people in the world who owns one. As such, I have pre-ordered one from Ecuagenera, the only company in the world I know of that sells them, for delivery at the OSA's show next month. This species has orange and purple flowers, and grows 5-6 feet tall on slender, reedy stems. I am currently collecting information on the cultivation of this plant. More on this soon!

Extensive Website Updates

There have been some major updates to the website at http://members.shaw.ca/jgadbois. There are now several articles downloadable. Check it out!

It is Finally Up, I Promise...

Over the past year or so I have gone through several attempts to get a website up and running, which would have more features than this blog. These have all failed - until now. After finally investing in a web design program, I have designed a website that is online. The address is http://members.shaw.ca/jgadbois - bookmark it! Perhaps one day I will have my own domain, but for now this is the best I can do. Over the next little while I will be getting all the features of the site working. The site will feature tons of downloadable content, including articles (in Word format) and maybe even wallpapers and video tutorials. The possibilities are nearly endless! Currently only very basic introductory information and a few photos are live, but check back often for updates!
