here they are :
They look great! Where did you say you got yours? The one I got in october (from Popow Orchids ebay listing) is mounted on exactly the same mount, same hook.
Do you grow yours in or out of a terrarium? The reason I ask is that now that I have my second Haraella, I realize that the first one doesn't look too healthy. The leaves are a bit dried out.

6, six (!) without doing anything with it except messing around with it.

Anyway, a spike still isn't a bloom. Boy would I feel stupid if I can't get any of these spikes to bloom

@ Nanella Tell us, does it smell? I really looks like a face!

Is this the way you water them?

Wooot Wooot, I can also new leaf growth I think. I tried to find what you think is a keiki. Where is it?
Those plants are so darn small that the keiki is probably too small to see for me (need new glasses? LOL).

Camille, Mine are from 'orchidee rare'. I have acquired 9 different plants from him in the past 1.5 yrs to date & all have been in very good shape. (still are)
To answer your other question...
Well it's a "sort" of a terranium 'au naturel'! Just an ordinary 18L plastic (ex-water) bottle (with the top cut off) the bottom 2" -3"lined with Leca.The bottle sits at 1.5m. in front of a South facing window covered with a net curtain. The plants both hang on the inside rim of the cut bottle, with their 'back' (cork part) nearer to the window.
I sometimes pour water onto the pebbles to put the humidity up. If it 'smells' I take the top off..and also depending on the degree of the humid smell open the window to get some air movement... seems to work as my Lobbii in the same bottle is re flowering & this time with more buds than my first time in Jan/Feb.
By the way I 'dip' the Haraellas in water twice a day if sunny & once a day if cloudy. (first thing in the morning & first thing in the evening when I get back from work)

t's too late to actually be part of this particular project...
but feel free to get one and grow it along with us, as HereticHammer has done
That's OK; it's really about the learning and joy of nurturing a beautiful plant for me anyway.

Here's the one I got. It seem to have a second spike or root forming.

It looks like a keiki to me Jim. Nice.

Hi all! Another progress report on my little, itty bitty Haraella. The flower fell this morning, making it 17 days in bloom. Don't know how long they're supposed to stay in bloom but interestingly, it didn't shrivel or show signs of dying off...it just separated from momma and fell. Maybe something other than it running it's natural course caused this or that's the way these little guys are, don't know?

It's getting ready to bloom once again. (Pic 3)

These first 2 pics are from May 18th, having been in bloom for about 6 days.
