I need a distraction

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

I work in NYC, not able to work from home, no sign of work shutting down soon. Here are a few things that keep my mind off of the world.

Sarchochilus - I just got this one in Jan in bud so I can’t tKe credit

Ansellia Africana ‘garden party’ . I’ve had this for years, I’d like to find on of the varieties that have dark spots

Phaiocalanthe kryptonite- another one I picked up at a show in January

I posted this guy a while ago, I took the original picture Jan 25, the color faded to white a bit but it’s still going strong

Aerangis ’zipper’ - again , from the show in Jan

Angraecum Sesquipedale

Coelogyne Cristata

Zygosepescalum

Anyone else have any distractions to share?

Thanks James! I enjoy your pictures. My Africana, the one I got in trade from you, bloomed a month ago. Second time.

I glad it is doing well for you. The intermedia you sent me in return is in sheath now, I hope to get flowers this spring.

What is your work in NYC? That intermedia is a good plant. orlata. It never needs staking. It does a beautiful job on its own.

James, as ALWAYS you have the most beautiful plants. Does that window get sun at all? Your orchids seem to thrive in it. Is that all you use, no lights? Great job. I'll bet that Zygo smell heavenly. I will be getting an 'Enc. garciana' and will share with you as soon as it can be divided. Hard to get and sooooo fragrant, like a sweetness I have never smelled before.

Yeah, thank God for my plants too. I tend to them everyday to get my mind off of things too. If I was to shut down, then I would have lots of time to repot and clean my plants and their growing areas. I could only wish. Please be safe and let's pray all of this passes quickly, it's just plain unreal. Like a bad dream. Thank God for people like you here.

Harvey - I work in construction management, the Gov considered construction to be vital so construction companies are exempt from the ban, even tho I’m not working on anything remotely important. Apparently we are still bound to our contracts and completion dates.

Mike - my room has windows on 3 sides, east , south, and west. Lots of light. I have a garciana that’s due for a repot. I’ll let you know in May.

If I’m not in quarantine by then.
