Lovely Cyp.! Unfortunately, habitat destruction is responsible for
KY losing many native orchid species. Such a shame! For example,
we had a large stand of Cyp. acaule which was completely destroyed
by kids on four-wheelers riding on posted land with absolutely no
regard for the native plants. Cry

why want you make a choice? angelwings
i can't it either rolleyes
the culture of Disa is simpler than much orchids.
some rules should just be complied.

Bienvenu Pierre et felicitations, vos orchidees sont ravissantes! Je suis suisse, mais j'habite l'ile de Phuket en Thailande, ce qui me permet de laisser toute ma collection d'orchidees a l'exterieur. Ma preferance sont les cattleyas dont j'en ai environ 70 plantes. Bien sur je cultive aussi d'autres especes... Entre nous, je suis membre de deux autres sites
d'orchidees que je trouve bien superieures a celle-ci, si ca vous interesse...

Salutations! Michel
