Take

!!

I like to see them mounted, and maybe one day I will get one to mount. I've got a couple pots to fill, so next time NWO is coming across the border, I will have to get more

Did someone say mounted,here are a few pictures of mine,purchased from Andy's Orchids last year,it is mounted on what I think is a piece of grape vine .It has many new roots and a one new growth but no spikes.I have had it for about a year and I keep it in my orchidarium about 4" from a T5 light.
This is not my project plant.Myproject plant has not done anything,but it looks like it has a new root starting and NO! I'm not going to say the "N" WORD

The blue tray is left over from a Bonsi pot, I used it just to give the mount a little support for the picture.

I've got one mounted too. . .but that one hasn't bloomed for me. Not sure what the problem is. It might have needed a winter to set blooms, or some such.

Your roots look awesome! When they look like that, I think they're super happy and flourishingl. I LOVE that silvery, sort of translucent quality they get and the gorgeous pinkish red tip.

I've noticed that when these spike it emerges out of the third growth down. . .between the leaves. Anything lower is usually a new root.

But I have to say, I've missed a few spikes, there at the first, when I thought they were new leaf growth. lol

Update on our orchid pots being made by Erin Pottery!

There are going to be around 30 orchid pots to choose from sometime around next week's end.

It's probably gonna be a WWW Pottery Throw Down as everyone scrambles to purchase their pots! So pull on your tights and fling your gold capes on and be there or be square.

Shannan is sweating bullets. Marilyn is checking the website, morning, noon and night. Susanne & Lauren are cohorting secretly behind the scenes, working to rack up free shipping! Fingers now poised above the BUY IT NOW button!

Stayed tuned!

wait... when is the presentation deadline?

kavanaru · #**629** 05-18-2008, 09:07 AM

wow! that's cool... will Erin Bonsai have a new section in the catalogue: "Orchids Pots"? or will they be hidden between all bonsai pots?

gmdiaz · #**630** 05-18-2008, 10:01 AM

Shams: I am thinking the deadline for presentation photos should be in about a month, say July 1st? How does that sound, everyone? But more on this a little bit later. . .wanna talk to Shannan and the OB mods before final dates are set.

Kavanaru: Yep, Vic said he was going to make our own section in the catalog. . .FOR. . .orchid pots!

P.S. AND. . drumroll, please. . .Vic is going to make us three pots especially for our Awesome Blossom prizes.

Teee heee. Muha ha ha ha. Yeah! And THANK YOU, Vic!
