Bc Maikai and Epidendrums for Christmas
As mentioned in an earlier post, inspired by Bl Morning Glory, I went looking for one. With the local orchid show and a few vendors in town, I thought it was a good opportunity to look for Xmas gifts for myself. Couldn't find Morning Glory but a Bc Maikai instead, the nearest substitute for MG. I chose the lighter coloured variety because I thought it had the closest resemblance to MG.
Since I was already at the stalls and there were a lot of inexpensive mini catts I decided to give myself an early Xmas treat.All of these shown cost about US$4 each. Why the low price
? People here prefer to go for the big showy catts.

Wishing everyone a merry christmas and happy new year.
