Phragmipedium Cape Sunset
Phragmipedium

This Orchid genus is not
represented in the new orchid collection at the Estate. I did manage to secure
three collector types for the group but we are still missing specimens of Vanda
and Cymbidium. My hands will be full with the 20 new Phalaenopsis and others so
I probably shouldn’t be worried about what I don’t have. Lucky the greenhouse
at work has three rooms and the climate can be set up separately in each room.
There is also a nice misting system, which helps keep the humidity up. Ten of the new orchids are marked for
the main house and there care will be turned over to the domestic people. They
are in full bloom. Well the fun begins on Monday when the orchids hit the
greenhouse.
Since it is Sunday here is
the bonus snapshot of the day. A black and white Asian Corsage Orchid.
