    Hi All,

    A new member here 🙂 Now that the Christmas is over, I thought I will check if anyone got any new orchid as a present, and perhaps, due to lack of space or other reasons, would like to sell or give away an old one.

    P.S. Looking forward a new meeting in February 😉

    Welcome Marius!😎,
    The society usually has plants available for members at the monthly meeting raffles.
    However, I have the following plants which you are welcome to have for free😀.
    Please let me know which, if any, interest you and I shall bring them to the Feb meeting.I may also have some others to give you from divisions in the spring!
    Coelogyne cristata (mature, flowering sized)
    Masdevallia ignea (small, plant about 2 years to flowering)
    Dendrobium infundibulum (rooted keiki, about 3 years to flowering)
    Dendrobium loddigesii (rooted keiki, about 2 years to flowering)

    Hi Shane,

    Thank you very much. I did a quick research on these four orchids. All are cool growers. I have one masdevallia and one dendrobium nobile Aurora. Both reblooming every year so I guess they like the conditions. If these two love it then Coelogyne should be fine too. I cannot resist and would like to adapt all four. How can we arrange the collection of it or can you keep it for me till the February meeting?

    Hi Marius,
    I will bring the plants to the February meeting for you in a shopping bag. Yes, they are all cool and fairly easy growers (the Masdevallia is a bit tricky!). If for some reason you cannot get to the Feb meeting just leave a message on this thread and I will keep them for the next meeting. See you February!

    Thank you so much Shane. I will remind you a day before. Also, I just want to know, how does the raffle works ? I have one still small but healthy and well rooted keiki that I would like to give away for free. It’s from my Dendrobium Nobile Aurora plant. Or I can just bring it and who ever wants, can take it right ?

    Hi,
    I’m brand new to all this. Any freebies that are easy enough for an absolute beginner would be welcomed! I have one large Phal., one mini one and a scented one, a very tiny cattleya and a pungent coelogyne. Hope to be able to make it to the February meeting.

    Hi All,

    I just realised that it would be unfair if I’ll get all 4 plant from Shane. In this case we can play a raffle 🙂
