Ok, I just got a box from Hausermann that was a bit of a surprise. I know I ordered them, but they were delayed a week by bad weather up north, so I added the miltonia onto the order by phone Tuesday or Wed this week. I got no shipping notification, but Fedex rang the doorbell and I found these (Flickr link...I know it requires extra effort to click (lol)).

I'm very happy with the plants...very very happy. I didn't even expect any of them to be in spike for what I paid. Only bad thing is that I think the milt and the tolumnia would really really love to have a good repotting job into a bigger container. I'll wait till after flowering.

However, the miltonopsis, and the tolumnia are in spike (tol is blooming), and the two little paph villosum seedlings have 3 and 2 new growths each on them. They're selfs of Eclipse and Gold Treat (couldn't find a photo for Gold Treat). I ordered two seedlings at some ridiculous price, like 4.99. I expected to get a relatively scrawny little one growth seedling for that.

Oh, and here is the link to their first baby picture...after I soaked the darlings...they were very dry (which I feel is a good safe way to ship):

Please note, you are forbidden to see the kitchen clutter that I swept aside to photograph the new kids. In fact, you find your eyes simply drawn to the plants, and not the syrup bottle, etc.
