SKEWERS! ;)

Looking good. I find watching them grow fun too.

Yes, watching them grow is a lot of fun. It deffinately takes patience. To answer your question about watering. It really depends on pot size and type of medium, humidity, and temperature. When I used to grow in a fir bark based medium 5.5" and larger I was watering once a week. 4" pots twice a week, 2" pots every 1 to 2 days. Hope this gives you an idea.

About your bonus plant. Was there no tag?

Yes! there was a tag, it said V20, but I didn't see any plants in there catolog that said V20, I'll check there web site.
Those Phals I got seemed not so good, they were flat and soft, but after I planted, watered and gave em a hug, they perked right up :)

Good to hear. You may have to email them direct to find out what it is.

I just read that the Miltonia's is one of the more difficult Orchids to grow, if thats true, I have to feel quite good, cus mine sure is doing very well.

And thank goodness I had all those little pots, I was not prepared to get my plants on the 13th, I wasen't suppose to get them until the 15th, I would had prefered clear pots, now that there in, I think its best to just leave them be, I sure do like clear much better.

Will, this is what my bonus plant is suppose to be ( Vanda Doctor
Anek 4n X Udom 1100 ‘Purple Spots waxy )
but I have not found anything on it as of yet.

I also received an order from bill_asia on the 13th. I specifically went for the small plants, cheaper that way. I got Oncidium Pink, Den Sun Chuli, Ren Singapore and the bonus is Pot Haw Yaun Gold. They all went into s/h.
He does explain on his website why it takes so long to ship.
