    Default Why Did I Do This!

    While at a Big Box Store yesterday, they had just brought out several racks of orchids for Valentine's Day. I love the yellow chids and they had these two...of course, they are grown by large wholesale growers and never have name tags.... So if anyone knows who they are, I know you'll let me know! The GH is filled to capacity...so why did I do this!!!!?????

    I must also say the photographic color rendering is off...sorry

    This has a purple lip






    This has more of an orange blush lip

    Nice phal! I ask myself that question all time. Just this morning I said, "Why did I take those 7 NOID phals from my boss!"

    Great yellows Howard

    I never ask myself that question; usually my wife beats me to it

    Howard, the whole sale grower's name is probably going to be wiped out of the post up there. I took a picture of my noid Zygo and e-mailed it to the wholesaler grower/breeder in TX and he e-mailed the name back to me. You should try that.

    I cant help with the names, but I love the splashes of color on the edges of the petals and sepals on that first one.
