# Tolumnias!!!! Just bought a bushel of these delightful mini orchids…

Tolumnias!!!!

Just bought a bushel of these delightful mini orchids on Etsy. Evidently they are my orchid equivalent to Pringles. Can’t have just one.

So much for the plant embargo.

But I guess it’s better than stress eating…

Will do! But probably just images of tiny little growing things sans flowers.

Yesss 🙌 Idk if you saw my post last week, but I got a mini orchid too and a couple aroids at a local orchid show. Mini orchids ARE like pringles! 🤣 I need more! Although I’m also on plant embargo 😢 And I was kinda in the dog house about the orchid show buys. But how often do you go to a plant convention?! It was my first one, I had to get souvenirs!

I wish I had gotten more lol. And jewel orchids too!

I did see your post the other day. I was actually skulking about Etsy looking for one when I found the Tolumnias and couldn’t resist them. I’ve got a couple already and they looked lonely.

Is Pickles on a synthetic mount?

I’ve got to find a good place for mounted orchids…

I’m familiar with “window shopping” on Etsy 😂

I believe it’s a tree fern fiber mount. I like the look of cork bark mounts more, but this is what it came on, so I’ll keep it for now until I learn more. I did end up taking it off temporarily and cutting out a lot of dead roots to avoid rot. Hopefully it doesn’t get mad at be for doing that 😅 But it did have a lot of healthy roots too!

I got mine from a member of the local orchid society, but some of the venders at the show were Ecuagenera from Ecuador, Fair Orchids from New Jersey, J\&L Orchids from Connecticut, Frosty Hollow Orchids from Massachusetts, Ten Shin Orchids from Taiwan, and White Plaines Orchids from New York

Etsy window shopping = take all the money

I really need be better at hitting the local events. I always seem to show up the day after. Much to Mr Pi’s relief.

Hopefully I can sneak in the itty bitty Tolumnias without him being the wiser.

Please keep us updated on your Pickle journey. I am exceptionally curious what it will be like. I have really enjoyed seeing more “exotic” posts popping up in the forum.

Paphs and Pickles and Leafless orchids! Oh my!!!

#### Mullein replied on 2024-03-07

Haha yeah, my partner in crime probably would have preferred if I didn’t catch wind of the orchid show just in time to go 🤣 But mini orchids are so small… who would even notice 😜

Will do! I’ll keep an eye out for posts from you too ☺️
