Hey Orchid Experts. Was I cheated? Miltassia Shelob from SecretGarden Male
Default Hey Orchid Experts. Was I cheated? Miltassia Shelob from SecretGarden

So I just purchased a few orchids from SecretGardenRarePlants.com which seems to have some decent reviews though I never heard of them until I was searching for an in stock Miltassia (Bratonia) Shelob 'Tokien' which they have in-stock listed as near blooming size. So I purchased one as well as an Oncidium Twinkle. I was excited to receive it, but noticed the box to be very small, and very light. Thinking I accidentally received two Twinkles by mistake when I opened it, I emailed them and they said that its blooming size. I don't know a whole lot about miltassia/Bratonia, other than the flower gets to be nearly the size of your hand. The seedling I received is the size of my hand. Plants are in excellent condition though!

Here is what Jodie, whom I assume is one of the owners as that was the name on my shipped box, told me:

"Yes they do start blooming at that size, the first blooming will be just a few flowers but each time they bloom after that they will have more and more flowers. Thanks Jodie"

Anybody know if what she is telling me is true? From my perspective it looks like a seedling that is many years away from giving me blooms.

Here is a picture of the Bratonia I received next to the oncidium twinkle that was also sent. The Bratonia is on the left, and twinkle on the right for comparison on size. I'd like to consult with people who know more about Bratonias who could hopefully reassure me and confirm the message I got was true.

Thanks!
