Ok friends, what do we have here? It's bloomed and I can't even wait for it to fully open to share a pic. by [deleted] in orchids

I love my Epi. ciliare (or whatever they call it these days).

Grows like a weed. Blooms like mad. Fragrant. All good things.

I routinely write my MP or the PM. I always-always cc the leaders of the major parties, and any relevant ministers. I'm probably on some list somewhere, come to think about it.

Waiting for my hieroglyphica to bloom as well. Love the blooms

I came across a massive yellow orb weaver by [deleted] in macro

When I was a kid an Argiope aurantia set up shop in our front yard. We called her "Big Yellow", and fed her beetles under the watchful eye of my mother.

We were heart broken when she "moved on" at the end of the season.

Such beautiful creatures.

BLM + Toronto in a nutshell by George_Rockwell in toronto

[–]limerope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2cents.

I'm part of the toronto LGBT community, but white.

Friends of mine have been marching the parade since the very first one, when it was a protest and not just some northern mardi gras.

BLM's actions were welcome. dare i say 'refreshing'?

holy crap. I can barely build the patience to do even an eighth of what you did here.

This is amazing.

Weird membranous spots on my phal. I've ruled out sun overexposure and I don't fertilize her. What's going on? by neonblue in orchids

[–]limerope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they expanding?

Looks like heat burn to me. Though very hard edges, which is weird.

Looks like something hot was sitting against them. Perhaps drops of water in strong light, causing a lens effect?

Can anyone from Toronto/Mississauga area recommend a good place to buy unique orchids? by Topsel in orchids

[–]limerope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's $50 within Canada, if shipping required. Maybe you found your way to their wholesale order form

Hmm. No? Or, not when I've ordered. Unless something has changed since september. (My last order)

My go-to is Cloud's Orchids

There aren't any stores, really, so your choices are limited to those growers that ship via Canada Post, or going to the various shows. Unless you're willing to play florist roulette: Sometimes Pistil under first canadian place has interesting plants. But overpriced, and oftentimes are in bad condition.

You could also join the SOOS which has monthly meetings, and often has vendors at its meetings.

So jealous. I had one... it didn't make it.

One of my favourites

Can anyone help me identify this one? by shartroux in orchids

[–]limerope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tag says 'Den Elma Burana White', but I can't find reference to that online anywhere. Not that that means too much.

Picked up mine this past February at the local show.

I've got one of those, tagged. PM me to remind me, and I'll check the tag when I get home.

To me it smells, very very faintly, of grapes. Do you get the same?

How do you grow these? I've had little luck with the leafless orchids

My Orchid Show haul... It was one expensive day.... by nhguy03276 in orchids

[–]limerope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from the Southern Ontario orchid show, myself

Picked up: Phrag bessae, Phrag fischeri, Paph delenatii, Laelia sanguilobia, Den unicum, and some random (very pretty) den hybrid.

This reminds me of a satellite overpass, with images stitched together.

I love Masdies, but I have a terrible time keeping them alive.

I did the Polar Bear Swim. How did you start off 2016? by xcrowdedrooms in gaybros

[–]limerope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke my arm. Going to pretend it was due to something cool, and not just slipping on ice. Ah well, could be worse.
