Oh I don't know, mine's only 4 and a half inches (roughly) as it's widest point - Still, as we all know, size isn't everything

I don't know, but those of us who are chat enough for the rest.

Jenny, I think yours may be the runt of the bunch. I just measured mine and was astonished to find out it is roughly 7 inches across!! The longest root is nearly 1 foot long!! I guess the phals I have around it make it look tiny!! You're right size isn't everything!

Now that it's been pointed out, there aren't that many posts by the other participants.
And yes, Jonada, the rest of us post enough for all the participants!

Since getting the project chid and it's TC (I finally get to use that!), I have been needing more chids!! I love getting mail, that isn't bills, and orchids are the best kind of mail!! Oak Hill has a Phal. bellina I have my eyes on. It's on my wish list. They have a baby for $10!

I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I cannot find anything I want. I am not crazy about the gastrochilus but am going to get one just as soon as I find a TC I can't live without!

Hi all,

Sorry I have had DSL problems and I am about fed up with AT&T. 4 modems later and 4 tech visits to fix the pole connection, I am finally back up only to discover that they somehow wiped all of my passcodes for my accounts and e-mails.

Another call to tech support and I am FINALLY back online.

I just got my bonus on Friday so I will be placing my order this week.

I'm excited about the japonicus but I have to say that the main order is my kovachii hybrid. Woo Hoo!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them.

Just placed my order with Orchids Limited!


Here is what I got. Since the Phrag is so expensive, I went for FedEx 2nd day. I'll get mine Tues or Wed!

Product Name: Dendrobium trantuanii
Product Name: Phalaenopsis zebrina
Product Name: Phrag. Peruflora's Cirila Alca - kovachii
Product Name: Gastrochilus japonicus

Still, the one and a half spikes make up for it in my eyes

Maybe we're intimidating the other project members with our chatter! C'mon everyone, butt-in!
