My 2 TC's Aerangis punctata & Ascofinetia (Neofinetia x Ascocentrum Miniatum) are also very nice. All are mounted on cork and I am going to keep them mounted. Here they all are :

They look very nice Nenella! You're hubby was very kind to get you a second haraella. Be sure to post pics when the spikes bloom! I'm still waiting for my Haraella, hopefully they will be shipped within the next week or so.

I see from the post that several individuals bought two Haraella's. Due to the fact we had trouble finding vendors with enough plants to serve those who signed up I was wondering if everyone who signed up was able to receive a project plant? And how many are finally in the project? Just curious.

One of the buds on my plant is opening!

Bonasi - Come on now, it's "Show 'n' Tell". Don't forget the pics. I just hope I can keep my alive long enough to bloom.

lol yes pix please!

Mine is growing a new leaf and a new root - so so far it doesn't seem a difficult plant to grow - but we'll see if it blooms for me ...

Well we have had enough monsoons going on here in W. TN that we could do some surfing!

I see something coming out that might be a spike or maybe a teasing root...I can't tell. I'm taking pics tomorrow if don't have any more rain.

Chris, just now seeing that you posted the Bakers culture sheet.

I was examining my plant this morning and there is something that I think may be the start of a spike...not sure b/c it's weird looking and partially under a root, so I can't see it well (it's maybe 2 mm in length). I know these guys can make clumps of plants...could it be the start of a leaf maybe? How does that work?
