Jun. 22, 2014 [update]: The Cym. Golden Elf is beginning to bloom. It’s amazing how yellow the flowers are.
Jun. 12, 2014: Ever since we stumbled upon the Kalapana Tropicals website, we’ve been curious about their plants. We were finally able to get some that arrived yesterday! The plants look great and we’re already looking forward to order more plants from them.
Cym. Golden Elf. First up is this cool miniature Cymbidium. We continue to amass Cymbidium plants to provide shade for our Pleurothallid Alliance plants.
(picture from Internet) The flowers of this plant is very simple pretty.
Milt. Hajime Ono ‘Maui Splash’. Browsing thru the Kalapana Tropicals website, it’s hard not to appreciate their Miltonias.
(picture from Internet) This one was an early favorite for us because of the awesome mask on it.
(picture from Internet) Pretty pink flowers on this one.
Masd. Tangerine Dragon. We’ve had several opportunities to buy this hybrid elsewhere but have always went for other options. Great time as any to pick it up from Kalapana.
(picture from Internet) Orange trumpet flowers!
Masd. Memoria Aaron Jackson. We ordered this hybrid since we have never seen it available anywhere else before. The plant came with a leaf growing out the bottom of the pot and an absolutely amazing-looking flower.
The flower is stiff and fleshy; deep purple with yellow at the tips of the caudae
Orchid count: #255-259
