Looking very good, love all the plants and pics. Camille great that you are participating & look forward to seeing the different bloom.
Love to see those TC's you all have ; I've killed 2 sedirea japonicas in the years I have been growing orchids... I may just be tempted to try again as a TC the next project.

Hey all, I wasn't sure I'd be able to participate in this project as funds are a little tight at the moment, but I booked some work and decided to take the plunge. Ordered mine two days ago along with Ceratostylis retisquama as a TC.

Looking forward to sharing pics once it arrives and in seeing everyone else's plants. Thank you again to everyone who worked so hard to put this project together.

Finally Arrived! And it appears Marty and Co figured out the OB webpage problems, so thanks to them!
So first pic is the special TC that joined the orchids for the trip. I finally wanted to start taking some good pics of the family, both human and plant. Finally some good pictures that aren't from my phone.
The second is the Gastro, then the chid TC's, Phal Javanica, and Rosie's pic (and my favorite project vote getter), Angraecum didieri.
Quickly, since this is my first mount. Should I just dunk the whole thing, really get the moss wet, or what? Mounts scare me.
Good Luck to All!!

Yup, dunk the whole thing. They'll probably want a nice soak after the trip. You'll love your Angraecum, mine's finally very slowly making a spike.

I'm assuming I should dunk as much as possible without getting the plant proper wet right? And dunk it and soak for a bit, or just dunk and pull out quickly.

Ha, yeah the camera was a great find, and we finally needed to cave in and get one. Wife just got a job, so now was the best time.

Received mine today also! I'll be out tomorrow. So, I'll post pic on Sat. Very happy with the quality of Oak Hills plants, only they need to work on letting customers know shipping details...... Letting them know its on the way and tracking # would ease customers minds. I will buy from them again!!!!!
