New orchids!

I bought my first orchid in February of 2013, and have been in love ever since.  Three new orchids just arrived in the mail this weekend, and I am totally delighted!  They are all small and 2-3 years away from blooming.

Brassavola nodosa

I don't understand people who throw orchids away after they bloom.  The year-long wait (or 2-3 years for my new babies!) for the next booms makes them seem even more beautiful.

Dendrobium tobaense var. giganteum

I am considering purchasing a metal Ikea cabinet and turning it into a mini greenhouse.  Apparently this is a thing and there are Ikea cabinet greenhouse groups on all the major online social networks which I can't see since I'm not on any of the major online social networks.

Neofinetia falcata

My last orchid haul was a birthday gift from my parents.  One teen orchid and two babies, and they're doing well.
