Maxillaria tenuifolia (Project 11 - Summer 2010)

[RosieC]

I bought the Gastrochilus japonicus as the TC. It was my vote for the project so decided to get it anyway.

I've posted pics here...

A yellow one? do you have a link to how the flower looks?

sure Maxillaria tenuifolia : vente orchidée - entretien, conseil et culture orchidées.

the yellow form is not very common actually, and I had seen only once in the past.. I was very surprised to see it at this nursery, and they confirmed per e-mail that it is exactly what they have..

that's quite amazing, i've never seen any variations of tenuifolia like this. but it seems they do not ship outside france, perhaps you could source one for me from that company haha

did you catch my latest 2 pms by the way? just curious

yes, I did.. but I think now you did not receive my reply to your list and the latest PM.. I had said, to wait until I feel better and can divide the plant and to stay in touch

I think they do ship outside France, but am not sure... I placed my order from them, together with some other goodies (mainly potting material)... If I ever order from them again, I will keep it in mind... hopefully they will still have some in storage...

I did infact not receive your reply to my list, i just rechecked thats strange, perhaps you can resend it ?

I will send them an e-mail and see what they ship to! thanks again

My order from Oak Hill arrived today- just before I had to go to work, so I unpacked tonight. I ordered a small Catt skinneri, a Den thyrisofolium and the Max. ten. I am amazed at the quality of the plants- they are all bigger/better than I had expected. The Max has 3 clumps totalling about 20 pbs. I ordered a blooming size one to go with the much smaller one I got as a division at the orchid society several months ago. That one had shriveled pbs, but they have plumped up. It only has about 6 pbs, though.
Pictures later.

OMG my plants arrived today and they are so amazingly adorable that I want to scoop them up and give them a hug!!!!!!! I'm soooo happy they are all mine! I went a little hog wild. Here's what I got ----

Maxillaria tenufolia (Project Plant)
Traveling Companions:
Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm'
Phalaenopsis bellina
Phalaenopsis violacea v. Malaysia
Phalaenopsis parishii (mounted)

Pictures later. I can't figure out how to upload photos without them failing. They might be too big. That'll be my project for tomorrow!
