Terrific plants, and one of the best vendors that I have dealt with. (I buy all my chids online due to lack of nurseries here) Also quick shipping.

Lol. Well they are said to grow quickly, so it shouldn't matter much, it'll probably flower next bloom time, which I think is March right?

In my house, I think it's whenever the heck they feel like it.

All my 'chids bloom times have been a little "off schedule". They like being different.

But yeah. If I can get this guy to thrive, perhaps in a couple years.
My Den. Aussie Chip is going to be covered with spikes in the spring, I suspect. That'll make up for it!

I suppose it's better for my savings account.

Okay..we have a Maxine, a George. I feel like we need a Harold. Or a Teddy.

Order placed. Just placed my order from Carter & Holmes. This is my first order from them but I am sure I will be happy. I got the Max and then had to throw in a couple more to keep him or her happy. Also ordered a Blc Ports of Paradise 'Gleneyrie's Green Giant' FCC/AOS and a Dtps Winter Clouds 'Mendenhall' AM/AOS. Hope they ship quickly.

cheers,
Jason

Have you ever seen Mauro's plant? He posted it here long ago, and it's one of the most meatiful specimens of Maxillaria tenuifolia I have ever seen!
