Ramon, this sounds like it could be a really fun adventure. Good luck, and keep us posted.

I don't think getting 5 for 1 is a very bad mistake, other than it's not what you ordered :) And orchid growing challenges are always nice, especially if you get all of them to survive. Any pics of these babies?

give me until the weekend to get pictures of them... :) and also let them get a bit used to "out-of-flask" conditions... ;)

Ramón, I don't think your original plant is a "straight" sarco hybrid. Look at the lip compared to that of the "velvet" one. The latter is extended straight out, while yours is cupped.

Hi Ray, could be, but for me that's also fine... at the end I did not received that plant at all :)

on the other hand, even if the it cannot be seen very well in the picture, the lips is not much different.. check this other picture... Australian Orchid Nursery - sarcochilus velvet 'Chocolate' the lips is also cupped...

whatever, the thing is I ordered my two sarcos from a "serious" nursery, and they ensure the IDs are correct... let's see by when they arrive in Basel :)
