It was packed like Fort Knox. I was pretty impressed. Not a broken leaf or root either. Shipping price may have been worth it.

Wasn't the color I was expecting..but very beautiful and subtle pink. Was that the one from the Amazon.com vendor ? Which one was it ?

Oh, I love it!!! Yes. It is Haleahi Blush Lakeview. More beautiful than I thought it would be.

I ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dendrobium Enobi Purple 'Splash' orchid, it's a mini.

Yours is prettier (imo), but mine is a mini and also cheaper (lol). I also added that Vulk I mentioned:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with the money I didn't pay for yours (lol). So I'm cheaper than you Dolly.

Mine should be here Wed or Thursday, though neither may be in bloom (which is fine with me), just gives me more to look forward to.

Now, if we were talking shoes, you'd never outshop me!!!
Those are both beautiful. What care does the Vulk take...same as Oncidiums?

I can't grow Catts, not enough light, but lots of frustration.

dbarron · #28 09-26-2016, 08:03 PM

I haven't grown it...but I read it as a slightly modified general oncidium, with a slightly cooler and wetter needs, much like miltonopsis, but fairly tolerant.

Ok, here's the dend phal and the vulk. Both larger than expected. The dendrobium is well rooted and has previously spiked on two PBs, so I expect flowers before long as there is a maturing PB at almost full growth now.

The Vuylstekeara is quite robust and very hard to count how many PBs due to dense growth. I don't see signs of previous spikes, but it's certainly large enough that it should spike on these growths. Due to it being newly repotted, I have elected not to inspect the undercarriage.

Very nice! Who was that vendor? I didn't pull mine out of the pot either. I wish I had bought more but, there is always that show in November that Wintergirl told me about.

If perchance, you should stumble on a vendor with Den Phals, please think of me. I don't have the resources you all do yet.
