    Default Another basket of orchids for the hall...

    The dark red one is Bga. Nelly Moser "Westland Wonder" - a smaller flower but more solid red than the usual Nelly Mosers, or is it just my culture recently ? ( which has been pretty poor as I have been otherwise occupied for a few weeks - that would account for a smaller flower and then the darker red would follow).

    By the way"Westland" is the name of the province of The Netherlands ( which most people in UK quite erroneously call "Holland" - which is another province - where there are very many orchid nurseries , or s some people say, orchgid factories, since they churn out flowering planst by the million.

    The taller darker red one is an Onc. Bobcat , and the yellow one is an Onc. Eric Young x something or other .
    I am looking forward to being able to spend a bit more time with my orchids now that my wife is home again - this display was to welcome her.

    She is a lucky lady to have a husband that will surround her with such beauty.

    One of my favorite male friends once said to me that he had made a significant discovery: no matter what the reason, and especially if there is no reason at all, "flowers are always the right thing".

    You are a fine example of a true gentleman to us all (even we women), Geoff. Your thoughtfulness combined with your astounding experience with, and knowledge about, orchids makes for a powerful force! The basket is beautiful and I love the Oncidium Eric Young cross. Lovely, lovely arrangement and I am happy to hear your wife is home.

    Great orchid arrangement to welcome your wife back home, Geoff. Love the Bga. Nelly Moser. We have one similar called Bga. Nelly Isler.

    cheers,
    BD
