    Wow what a wonderful tour of Palmer! As many have said, not too many places in North America where this kind of growth is possible. I'm always partial to the vandas, totally jaw dropping! Cattleyas that are small for you are large for me! I think you exercised good restraint. There go my life savings if I step in there.
    Really nice purchases. I hope my sanderiana will be as nice as yours! Cattleya has stunning contrast. Wish i could smell it. So vanda Merrilii smells like sweet plastic? What does Mimi Palmer and MV Tannins smell like? Orchideya has an MV Tannins. I have a Mimi Palmer keiki years away from blooming.
    Thanks for the tour!

    • @toddstropicals
      @toddstropicals  4 года назад +1

      MV tannins is sweet jasmine like and tessellata is sweet candy like grapey scent. Oh the ones I got are compact growers specifically why I got them and both are fragrant, I have more small cattleya arriving tomorrow.
