Being totally nuts about green orchids, it would be fun to see pics of your favs.

    Gorgeous! Both of them. Are/were either one fragrant?

    LC Greewich 'Elmhurst'. My favorite Catt. It offers a very pleasant fragrance.

    Lc.'Green Vail' Dressy. no fragrance...

    As a full time student, I don't have a lot of space or time for orchids, but when I do, I love green! Here's a Blc. Hawaiian Passion 'Carmela' that bloomed a couple months ago for me. Lighting's a bit off... Nice fragrance if I remember correctly.

    shaved - I have been trying to locate Greenwich Elmhurst blooming size at a reasonable price for quite awhile. If you run across any, I would appreciate the supplier. I ordered one from masterorchidclub but I doubt I will ever see it so I need to keep looking. Fragrance is a must for me. Gorgeous pics!!!

    Plum, ANOTHER green I HAVE to GET! GORGEOUS. Of course no one has it except small plants. Sigh... I really love everyone's greens! There is just something about them and all of yours plants look in perfect health. I hope I can take as good of care of mine when I finally find them.

    treehugger, I have a duplicate plant if you have a trade idea...

    I am so excited to share that I just bought Lc. Greenwich Elmhurst and Blc. Hawaiian Passion 'Carmela'. Arthurm, I can't find Cym. Dag 'Dorothy' anywhere. It is so beautiful, too. I will keep looking...

    wow, these orchids are gorgeous. I keep learning from the experts here. True beauties..Congrats..

    @treehugger: Glad to see you made the purchase! You won't be disappointed. I think you'd be interested in Grammatophyllum scriptum var. Citrinum. It's been on my wishlist for such a long time; it has flowers on the yellow-er side of green in huge spikes, though it is a space hog. Just a tip! Good luck!

    shaved - It is interesting that Lc. Green Veil 'Dressy' has no fragrance. An eBay seller says it does. In fact he says all of his orchids are fragrant when, in fact, most of his are not. Bad experience. It's a shame because I love this orchid but only have room for fragrant blues and greens. Gotta draw the line somewhere. Of course, my son has a room... : )

    Thanks, Plum. I will add it!

    When I put the pics up, I didn't realise that they were for a wish list.
    We all run out of room, that is why Proslaeliocattleya Mae Bly is no longer in my possession. It is very vigorous, makes lots of roots and the space it took up is now occupied by a couple of non-space hogs.
    Cym. Dag 'Dorothy' was registered in 1964 and may only be available in Australia via divisions.
    Some Cattleyas only have perfume on sunny days.

    And finally, Grammatophyllum scriptum "A large to giant sized, hot growing epiphyte" quoting a bit from Jay's Species site.
    There was one awarded in Northern Territory, Australia ages ago. The Judging panel visited the orchid. nuff said.
