Orchids from the Ewa Orchid Society Plant Show

I picked up a few orchids from the Plant Sale La and I were at this past weekend (we were helping Perla with her plant sales).  Here's what I got -

The leaves of this one are like cucumbers.  It is a slow grower, but stays pretty compact.

I liked the description of this one - "grows like a weed".  Dendrochilum filiforme - this is going to be my confidence booster.

And Aerangis hariotiana - it too is supposed to stay compact.  I've purposely stayed away from orchids - as in my mind they are too picky on care requirements and need more water than I care to provide - but after doing some research, some species are actually more similar to succulents and cactus than I thought.  Anyways - here I go....

Nursery Surfing - Kawamoto's Orchid Nursery

We still had some time to kill before our next stop so I took the family to Kawamoto's Orchid Nursery. This place was dangerous for us - primarily because we are trying to control our plant acquisition syndrome and they have some really nice orchids. They also had a huge selection of Tillansia. Noe and I did purchase one each and we also got some planting media (tree fern pucks and a grapewood branch). Nice nursery if you are visiting Palolo Valley. These last few are from La's phone.
