If I can read well enough the tag says Tolumnia sylvestris and I'm very sure it is.

Hi RSS,
They are Onc. ampliatum, Aerangis bilboba, Haraella,
Tolumia sylvestris, Psycopsis papilio and in the the hurricane lamp is a Polyrrhiza.
If there's any one who has experience with Polyrrhiza reading this, please let me know what you think. The Poly. came with directions that said it liked warm ,humid, and stagnant air.

That would explain why I didn't order it, 2-3 foot spikes! Those won't fit into my vivariums.

Hi everyone,

Like orchidegg, I haven't gotten my plant yet and it was sent out over a week ago. Oak Hill very kindly put a replacement in the mail for me today, since the post office seems to have no idea what happened to it. I should have my plant Thursday, though this time it's coming fedex!

Happy to hear that

If there are any problems for anybody else, please contact Liese...she can't fix it if she's not aware of the problem

....and they love very high light, can even handle full sun (if the humidity is high enough 80%+)

I should be getting mine soon too! Nicole and I are getting ours from a Dutch grower who specially got them for us from one of his suppliers in Germany (that's how I understood it). He'll have them next week! Now the difficult part: selecting my TCs!

[orchidegg]

Yes Oak Hill said they would replace things next week. Never had problems with priority mail before but I guess there is always a first.

It is so embarrassing to ask this since everyone seems to know what it means but what does "TC" mean?

Never be embarrassed to ask a question on the OB. If you don't ask we can't help.

TC stands for "traveling companions". Most of us get some TC's when we order a project plant. Can't have one poor plant traveling alone can we?
