Haven’t posted any of this in a long time. I’ve got others on the way, but these two are blooming right now. Stanhopea oculata is a species that has approximately 3″ wide blooms that only last a few days, but smell intensely of vanilla. I bought it last year from Oak Hill Gardens. The other […]

OT: New Orchid Stash

Sorry . . . nothing on the Nickster front. He must be on extended “hitatus.” I did get in an order of orchids from Hawaii this morning. Details, plus a couple of pictures, are on my The Orchid Place Blog. I haven’t gotten around to compiling and uploading any 2010 orchid or garden galleries yet, […]

All the fun NP-related stuff was happening over at ETT’s this past week, and I still have nothing to add. But, there’s a major annual orchid show this weekend over in Kennett Square at Longwood Gardens, which used to be one of the many duPont estates.

They’re the last four thumbnails; click on any of the thumbnails to see them in full size. This puppy smells similar to Stanhopea oculata (i.e. vanilla coca-cola), but more intense, and a little […]

Yeah, baby! S can officially kill me; I bought seven plants instead of my original self-imposed limit of five. Here’s my take: Two Stanhopeas — oculata and panamense, from Oak Hill Gardens. I got to chat with Greg for a few minutes. Liese wasn’t there, but he promised to say “hi” to her from me. […]
Orchid Fest Weekend

One of my favorite orchid suppliers is hosting its annual Orchid Fest today through Sunday. Parkside Orchids is normally only open to the public a few afternoons a week, but once a year, it hosts a three day event in which other vendors rent booths, and set up tables and tents to sell their goods.

A funny thing happened on the way to the orchids. Some of you may know that my brother died roughly a year and a half ago. Remember all that bullshit with Nicky railing on and on for weeks about me fucking his corpse, then his ashes? My brother used to host my orchid website for […]
