Sophronitis brevipedunculata!!!
Around 8:45 this morning my step-dad came up to my room with a package for me. I knew what it was, but I didn't think it would be here until 10 or 11. I immediately opened it up to find my little Sophronitis brevipedunculata waiting for me. I have been wanting this plant for a few weeks now, and since I got a couple of bucks for Christmas, I bought one. I was a little worried because the temperatures have been in the low 30's and high 20's here at night, and I hoped that it was not frozen. Luckily, it was not. The seller packed the plant really well, wrapping it in cotton fiber, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and newspaper. There was no way that the plant would have had a bumpy ride. All of that insulation is probably what kept the plant from freezing. Anyways, the plant is so cute. It has six pseudobulbs, 3 without leaves. I am so happy with this purchase, and will definately order from him again very soon. Here are a few pictures of my brevipedunculata.
