brassavola season anyone?
in front a cordata that was rat damaged..ate half the buds he did. they are soaked in happy sap. have 5 left of 10. BUT 2 new spikes just came up wth buds. 
in back is a little stars. 11 spikes. 4 main spikes have 9 to 10 buds.seems anything else that was able to put up did so 3 or 4 bud on the small spikes. I wish that wouldn't have happened but it did
to the left is a nodosa 'mas major' about to open. its a bag baby and bloomed earlier this year. didn't get much this time but has 7 new pups fir next time..
I know you want to see some flowers.  ..well dammit jim I wanna see some flowers too..

Great idea! I've wired them up sometimes but never would've thought of that stuff. Looks like I need to steal your idea. Thanks for explaining.

 What a clever, original idea. They should look great when they bloom out. My B. LS is in full swing now. Basket in basket, it hangs out all over the place. |

Wow, lots of buds! One of the two brassie seedlings I bought about a year ago has bloomed 3 times in the last 3 months . . . one pretty flower at a time! |
