Haraella retrocalla (Project 8 - Spring 2009)

[whygreenberg]

Awesome, Cullen!! Boy, it sure is a cutie. So, you HAVE to tell us...any fragrance?? I suppose if it just opened, fragrance may not be present yet, but...

My little Chuckles is growing nicely alongside his TCs. I think that it might be starting a spike o might be a keiki. Either or I'll be a happy camper. All I know is that there is a forked point not a pointy one.

No fragrance yet. Just warning you, the buds take about 3 days to fully open so you have to be really patient!

[MuscleGirl'sHobby]

Very nice bloom!
3 days to open huh? We'll it seems I'm going to have to be patient just to get a spike, 3 days is going to be agonizing... assuming I even get the spike!

Rain Rain, go Away

I have 2 forked thingies...spikes? I don't know. It's been so rainy that I am trying to keep it from drowning.

We finally had a partly cloudy day today but I had to work and it's too dark now to take photos.

We are supposed to get more rain starting tomorrow....hubby is racing to finish the GH...plants want to get out of the wet.

Mother Nature hates me...that's what it is.

Hi everybody. I hope I'm posting these pics in the right place. I haven't been on the board much lately and will soon be back but, in keeping up with the project, I want to show some updates on my (hilariously tiny) Haraella retrocalla. It's blooming now and I see another bud growing. It's being watered every other day now. The weather here is stifling hot and this baby's thirsty.

The last pic is what the bloom looks like from behind.

[Don Perusse]

Oh how cute Sandy. I sure hope mine grows up enough to bloom.

[whygreenberg]

Yay, Sandy! Lookin real good! This 'chid sure is a cutie.

Could be kinda early to tell, but I believe I'm seeing the beginnings of a spike on little Haraellaphant. I'll post a pic in a couple of days when it's a bit further along.
