Nat and I shopping

[Nataliwind]

Nat came over and we went up to a nursery that has orchids. What was totally laughable was they wouldn't let us back where the vandas are as there were too many "rare" ones and the owner wasn't there. Honestly, the best they have back there is mediocre and that is stretching it. I've been back there many times and I think that I've bought one plant. We looked at the orchids up front and laughed over the prices.
We did however find the BIGGEST leafed coleus I have ever seen. They are named Kong varieties. I can't get over the size of the leaf...
Nat brought me a very nice Aerides odorata 'alba' - Thanks Nat
Kong Coleus

Thank you Cathy for taking me there!
It was great. I got two Coleus plants and Hibiscus Luna White. Here are my new plants:




Cathy shared with me her C. skinneri. Thank you so much Cathy!

Absolutely!!
I am glad we did it on Saturday, not yesterday. We had tornado warning up to 5 p.m. in our area yesterday(Tropical storm Debby is playing around), and tornado watch is still active by now. Yesterday we got about 10" rainfall. My conservation area (where I grow many orchids ) is a lake now.


It is quite deep there and dangerous, of course (we have a lot of cotton mouth snakes around... sometimes I even see them on my patio. That is why I have to walk very carefully all the time, especially in the summer when snakes are more active)



I hope my B. echinolabium will benefit from water underneath
