Phalaenopsis Mini Mark
Doritis pulcherrima var. coerulea
Phal. equestris var. coerulea
Phal. equestris alba
Phal. bellina
Phal. amboinensis

I am so excited.

I should have mine by Friday, so I have time to think of a plan. So if you get found out your going to blame it on me huh? Sounds like a good plan to me, I can blame it on you " Nibbler made me do it " HAHAHA!!

What is that DTPS? I seen one at a store last week and it was gorgeous, to bad my wife was with me, she was very persistant that I would not have it, 2 days later I went back alone and it was gone

I did a search on that Dtps. Anna-Larati Soekardi Peloric x Anna-Larati Soekardi
, nice!! I see they look a lot like Phals, the one I seen was very different, Now its going to bother me on what kind of Orchid I seen.

Why dont you go back and ask them?? They may be able to order it in for you! I think you should try "honey look over there" and run. Or ask them to put it aside for you and go back.


Himself is not happy either. He unfortunately saw the total of what I paid. I am going to start ordering from the bedroom or lock myself in the bathroom with the lap top.


Ill tell him I need me time.

Will here they are, they are much smaller than I thought they would be, most have good roots, he sent 2 of eaco order and added a bonus plant, which I have no idea what it is, it also happens to be the biggest plant of the lot.
It's late, and quite tired, I got work early, so I will let them soak for about 20 hours, i hope thats not a bad mistake.

[Jeffery]

I think I will need to keep my fingers crossed with some of these. The final results.

They look good potted up. How were the roots?

I remember years back waiting on an Oak Hill order that I was so exited to get because I had "shopped the pictures" of the flowers. What a shock when these tiny-T-niny plants came! My wife (very supportive as they go) says "You're disappointed...". I said "Well, get a magnifying glass and maybe we can see them"!

Fast forward some years, and wow, I got to watch them be little seedlings, care for them into adolescence, send them off to bigger pot college, and, finally, have their first blooms. I swear it was like watching your kid graduate, I was all papa-like mushy and proud. I like growing them up!

The roots were pretty good and they were able to support themselves being planted, but 2 had not so great roots and needed a little help to stay put.

HAHAHA!! I kind of thought that when I first seen mine, but they were not that small. I wonder what the bonus plant is, guess I will find out in a few years.

With the plants being much smaller than I am use to, other than my Catts, but I was wondering do I need to treat these ypung plants any differently than the adult plants? I know the roots are much smaller and the surface dries out quite fast as compared to the middle, so will I need to water them more often?
