Thanks Alexandra!
These are as near to instant orchid gratification as I've found - about a month from potting the pseudobulb to a flower!!

I tried buying some on line a month or so ago but I was out-bid...
Will give it another try.

Well worth the effort Alex.
I'm looking for the autumn flowering species now.

Cool growing Delonix - maybe you may struggle with these over there.....

Meanie just keeps trying Delonix.

Meanie:

A lot of the cool-growing orchids do well in CA in winter. Most orchids bloom in winter in San Diego and most of the time it's cool enough for cool-growing orchids and warm enough for many of the tropical orchids, also. We're pretty lucky! :>)

Alexandramou:

Leave Meanie alone...you're giving him such a bad time tonight (morning for you). :>)

I just wish GOY had those little faces where it is rolling with laughter. :o)))

Alexandra:

Yes, we need to get those on GoY. :>)

I'm counting this as Keith 2, Delonix "loads more" on the scorecard!
I would be interested to see how you get on with them though.

lol lol lol.......

"I would be interested to see how you get on with them though." You might not like the answer...

I'm quietly confident on this one Alex!
I have two pots of this - one goes out during the day' the other stays in. Guess which one is significantly behind the other....

18 Mar, 2011

 

ok, then the score will be.... Keith 3 - Delonix still "loads more"
