Way to go, Keltera! Lovely looking plants so we'll look forward to blooms before too long (and pics). I have a Hoku Gem Freckles myself and it's one of my favourite plants -- just opening up now.

Keltera - you/I should have said hi! I *think* I know who you are, but I'm not 100% sure...I recognize that plant on the left which you were talking about with Wendy...I was hovering behind you guys during that conversation

My haul:

Dend prasinum
Dend Green Lantern
Dend Dawn Maree x tobaense
Dend Frank thrall (bigibbum x Roy Tokunaga)
Dend Roy Tokunaga (mini)
Dend johnsoniae
Dend mini snow flake
Leptotes bicolor
Cattleya intermedia var orlata
Cattleya luteola

aaaand, no pots or potting media left at home...fantastic!

Now if anyone has any secrets or recipes for reviving bare root orchids, now's the time to share!

Nice haul and GREAT looking roots.

Keltera · #8 08-03-2009, 08:55 PM

Before i go and repot all of these guys, what would you guys suggest for pot size and medium?

orchidbingo · #9 08-03-2009, 09:39 PM

Wow! Those plants look really healthy.
Can't wait to see the Pot. Hoku Gem freckles in bloom.

congratulations!

bingo

Nice haul! I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but Den. spectabile is not a mini. It's a VERY robust grower and can get quite large. However, the coolness of the flowers definitely makes up for it's large size.
