Nothing to be confused about here...

if any of the plants arrive in bloom or spike or bud, it doesn't count and we can't take credit for it.

Anybody who finds themselves in that situation must wait for the plant's next bloom...the one we actually make happen

Sue...just FYI...while I have definitely not seen hide nor hair of spike, bud, or even nubbin, the order sheet which came with receipt from Andy's listed both Intermediate & Warm plant as Blooming Size. Not sure if that was supposed to be the case, but thought I'd mention it...

So far only 9 of us have posted pictures to the Project 7 gallery. Come on folks! Let's see what you got.

I'm not sure yet but I might have a "nubbin" on my intermediate plant. I'll have to pull out a magnifier and see. Could just be a new root. It's hard to tell it's so tiny!

Hi Yvan,

When it comes to ordering plants for our projects, we kind of have to take what's available. That's why if somebody gets a plant with a bloom or a bud shows up in a week...it's really not our work and we can't take credit for it.

Hey Terri,
I don't have mine yet, but I think it was shipped out today, so should have it by Friday. From what I can tell by everyone else's pics, my intermediate and warm mystery orchids will be coming in a really smalllllll box!

Thanks, Sue...I did understand that about the project. But thought I'd mention it in case there was confusion about whether or not the 'chids were near blooming or blooming size. Hopefully it makes more sense now that there might be some folks with nbs, and some with bs.

Thanks Yvan

I just looked at my invoice for the first time and all three temperature group plants are listed as BS (blooming size)

Sometimes it just can't be helped

My intermediate is listed on the invoice as BS..... that's blooming size not the 'other' BS...........

Camille!! I have just had my package arrive from Popow and they included a note for me saying that your package was shipped. So, if you don't have it already, it should be arriving shortly!! I would think that it would be quicker to get to NL than GB from Germany....

Let me know when you get it!!
