Return from the past

Hello Carl and welcome to the forum! I would love to see a photo of the Potinara that has been residing in the same pot for 43 years! What else are you growing in your new collection?

BTW - we wives NEVER get to retire....nor do we want to.

Hi Marci -
Thanks for the welcome ! I will try to see if I can get an image of the Potinara and figure out how to send it. It has B. digbyana in its parentage and definitely shows that lip. The basic color is pink with some greenish yellow in the lip. Very fragrant at times.

Carl

sounds lovely! And welcome!

Your Potinara sounds gorgeous. Pink and green combos are my favorite and digbyana 'lips' are hot! LOL Posting pics here is easy. I post straight from my computer. Just find the PICTURES topic, click on NEW THREAD, then fill in the message box , click on the paperclip and go from there. Good luck!

"Welcome back", Carl. Nice that you were able to keep one plant. But great that your back growing orchids. For me, it's been an obsession since I was 7 years old (I'm 50 years old now). What's nuts is that it is an obsession. Enjoy your orchids and welcome to the AOS Forum. Are you a member of the AOS? If not, if you ever have questions, I'm always available to answer them.

Carl, welcome to (back to ) orchids. I remember you and Sherry from daylilies. We, too, have backed away from the hot, mid-summer daylily work and now have about 2500 orchids. Nice to have you here. Glad you guys are doing OK. You can continue going to the Carolina breakfast meeting because Tom Nasser has always been a part of that.

Hi - I replied to this before, but am still learning about this site - not sure if it came through. Are you, by chance, Jim Lurton? If so, good to be in touch. If not, who are you? You mentioned Tom Nassar - yes, we know him from the Breakfast Club and have visited his greenhouses a couple times - nice set-ups.
