Wow, yours is much taller than mine! I didn't know that they grow up like that- cool!

I considered a vase (a little tiny vase)- I have another much larger orchid growing that way and it seems absolutely thrilled. As others have mentioned, I am a little frightened about how fast it might dry out, but maybe I will give it a try. I can always re-pot, right?

It's all a big experiment!

Trying a new way to grow a chid...give it a shot! Whenever I'm doing something "different" to one of the chids, I just make sure I pay a little special attention to it's condition. If I see it's not happy, I try something else...maybe a different place or a different pot/mount...


and then again...sometimes I kill them

Got my Oak hill order yesterday!!!

Another great order experience whith them. I got a couple choice TC's too. I'll snap some pics later today.

Alright,
I got brave and put Haella Good in a jar with a tiny bit of sphagnum at act as a plug and hold her upright in there. I hope she likes it!

I have uploaded some photos here of the Haraella, as well as my other orchid that is growing in a jar. The larger orchid in the blue jar is a Brassolaelia 'Yellow Bird,' and I would say that it has been in the jar for about 4 months maybe- the photos are from about two weeks after I put it there, about a month and a half after I put it there, and today, four months or so later. It is so interesting to me to see it grow this way!

Interesting, never thought about doing that.

You'll definitely have to keep us updated!

Here's mine. It doesn't have a name...other than the one it came with...

Wow, mine looks tiny compared to yours. I was going to name it Furry Face, but now I'm thinking
about Runtly.
Dana, Is yours growing in an enclosure of some type?
