Dendrophylax lindenii day 19

[GardenTheater]

Earlier, I promised to post picture of the Dendrophylax lindenii seedlings I got from Oak Hill. A couple of people have grown and bloomed them from seedlings in standard greenhouse conditions. Give it a try if you've got greenhouse conditions. Worse case they die and Oak Hill propagates more seedlings. Best case, you've helped to preserve a rare species. They certainly don't take up much space. Here's how the lucky ones have bloomed them.

First picture shows the orchids on the day I received them. Oak Hill replaced the mount on the right after seeing a photo of it. Second picture shows them 19 days later. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they're still alive as we've had a spell of low humidity. Many roots have survived and many have died. The larger seedlings seem to be doing better than the smaller ones as would be expected. They are very cool to look at under a magnifying glass.

Forgot to mention, on the right mount is a sprig of tillandsia usneoides, aka Spanish Mouse. I'm growing it in my windowsill "orchidarium".

Another way to help is to donate to their conservation.
