Fred supplies great plants.
I went a little nuts back in November, so I received a shipment of about 75 plants, mostly in 3" pots. Some 8-10 have bloomed sofar, and I am in the process of potting most of them up into 4" or 5" pots.

I'm working on moving the plants I got from Fred into bigger pots as well. There were a few that the pots were bulging from all the roots in the pot! Great plants!

My Den. spectabile still refuses to bloom but... making 23 new growths after repotting. I've been threatening to toss it if it doesn't bloom but I think it knows that I've invested too much already...!

It's actually too big to fit in my trash bin...  haha
I'll admit that all the new growths are cool enough. |

so this is not the typical new growth porn pic.
i got this plant at the Miami show in January...i grabbed a few plants from this grower and there was bin of bare root catts and myr hybrids and i was looking in and the guy says, "those are back divisions and older unsold divisions, take one if you want a project"
so i grabbed the least ratty one and did not have high hopes...i tried a few things to make it comfortable but given how small it was i could not balance the light with out getting it scorched so i figured...SH!!!
it basically just dragged along bottom for a while but yesterday i noticed some new color and i got closer to see 8 new grows!!! tiny and weak but POPPIN!!!

Holcoglossum Subulifolium
My Holco dropped 3 of 6 leaves and I was getting a little worried despite previous excellent root growth...
It was just gearing up to put out a big new root, a flower spike (under root) and four basal keikis. Great plant
