Hi Melissa, That's why I joined all 3 projects.

Well, truthfully, I guess I can't really say I didn't get any plants this winter. But I probably only got about 15.

Do you all mind telling me where you got yours and how much you spent on it (including shipping)? Also, if it is blooming size or not. Having trouble deciding what to do on this one.

Thanks!

Your not late at all...I don't think people started ordering until last weekend....and I am undecisive and haven't decided where to buy my project plants from....and I'm waiting closer to pay day this Friday too! I thought I wait and see pictures of everyone's 'chids and decide from there on where to get mine! You really can't go wrong from those who we have to choose from though!

I ordered from Hausermann's. They had some really cool TCs that I wanted.

Rhyncostylis coelestis $22.50
Trichoglottis brachiata x self $15.00
Trichopilia tortilis $12.50
Phal. Cranberry Queen 'Regal' $10.00

Wow...I needed that...no orchids all winter!

Great choice of TCs! I especially like the Trichoglottis brachiata! I'll have to look into what all they have!

I just got my plant yesterday. It looks great, but I was a little shocked because it is the pink version.I have never ordered a plant online before and I wasn't sure if that was normal. I asked for no substitutions and was disappointed that I got the pink. I don't want to call them if I am in the wrong.

There are three variations of Rhyncostylis coelestis....a blue, pink, and alba. Who did you order from?

I really hope your sources are right and my book is wrong.

Just checked my plant tag and it says Rhyn Coelestis white when I ordered the blue... although the blue is blue and white from what I have seen in pictures. Either way. I though, checked the same thing when I ordered from Hausermanns for no substitutions... weird. Doesn't bother me though, white is just as pretty as blue... although I am a sucker for the blues and purples.

aaand... while I'm at it... comeon folks! I want to see pics of your Rhyns! I've never had one of these and I want to see what mine looks like in comparison to everyone else's!

Has anyone grown these in S/H? I'm thinking about it and would like advice, please.
