I recommend pulling the Dens from the pots and checking the condition of the sphagnum. Just a thought.

Ross...be very careful that you don't ovepot your moniliformes...they need to be really really potbound to bloom well.

Diane's orchids arrived today. I had my camera with me, so here a couple of quickie pics. . .
The haul
The Neo. Raizan
New, as of lunch today, Phal. Sogo Golden. I would have bought this one! I found it first. But I was on an orchid buying "time out". So I just handed it over to Diane. That's the only way I could let go of it. . .if she bought it.

It's great that you two can go on the 'hunt' together!

Well, thanks a lot, folks!
Ever since the suggestion yesterday of Japanese figures being set up next to my Neo, I have done nothing but think of Japanese decor...and how to work it into my scheme! 
Woke up this morning and decided to move some stuff around...the 7 'chids that were in my Exo-Terra have now been moved to the orchid room and the only thing in the tank is the Neo mount. I'm thinking Zen Gardens, Buddahs and Samurai swords!
This is gonna be a dangerous one!!! |

 I don't understand why they need to be potbound to bloom? This never really made any sense to me since in the wild...they are never potbound....can some one fill me in here? |
