Default Dendrobium speciosum babies

I imported several small speciosum seedlings last winter from Australia. Most are outcrosses of variety grandiflorum, but there are a couple of variety blackdownense outcrosses, a variety speciosum outcross, an albino-flowered hillii, and a couple of intervarietals too. All did very well over the summer and produced multiple new growths and good root systems. Now I just need to be patient for another four to six years until at least a couple of them reach flowering size.

The large seedling is grandiflorum 'Creek Aureum,' which has got to be the most expensive orchid seedling that I've ever purchased (there are numerous photos of the adult plants online). Got a little anxious since it didn't do anything more than grow a new root system for the first eight months after I planted it. But it finally made a new growth over the last two months, which was a relief.

They look great! It was a big disruption for them changing hemispheres.

They actually came from a private grower who I had been corresponding with, not a nursery.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments!
