New Growth Porn

[Afid]

here are some from two of my plants that decided to go crazy this year, a Catasetum hybrid and a Bulbophyllum makoyanum which has 4 new growths!! The Catasetum also has what is either a secondary lead or a spike starting at the base of the new growth.

Afid- i think that cata is a double!!

i was also wondering what is the coated metal mesh you are using to make your baskets? also, don't forget to tell me when you are ready to get that seedling, i have no idea the temps there but it is basically summer here without the rain lol

It is just plastic mesh left over from some other project around the house (I'm not sure where it came from, but I expect you can find it at most hardware/garden centers) I just cut out the shape of the basket, bend the sides up and tie it with little pieces of floral wire. I can probably get the seedling soon, it is going to snow a bunch over the weekend but the weather will probably clear up after that.

I bought this Clowesia warczewitzii from Rogue Orchids (great seller) recently. First pic is exactly a month ago, second pic is today. I wish all my orchids grew this fast! Can't wait to see it flower.

I think I fixed it, can you see them now? I am trying to embed pics directly with an imaging hosting website, instead of using the OB image upload since it compresses pics so horribly and also for some reason flips vertical pics sideways.

Whoa!! Yes they worked and wow. That is a happy plant indeed
