Drew, your leaves look totally different than mine. They are mostly round while yours are long. Interesting.

Great job on the seed pods. I cant imagine how small the seedlings will be. You'll need magnifying glasses to deflask them!

Thanks guys! It definitely is interesting the leaf shapes, there seems to be at least two varieties that are being photographed in this project.

Looking good! Mine are exactly 1 month behind yours.

Well, it happened. My longest air root just lost its green tip as of last night. Yesterday it looked great and this morning its done. I was expecting it though but all the rest seem to be doing great still. They are all growing on the mount and into it so hopefully they will keep it up.

Even though I'm not a member of the project, I was inspired and bought one earlier this year.
Mine bloomed! I had 3 little buds (I hadn't realized just how small the flowers are!) One bud opened most of the way, but stayed kind of bell shaped. Unfortunately, all the buds/flowers got wet and dropped. (I assume that they dropped because they got wet, could there be a different reason?) but I have 2 more growths maturing rapidly :)

Sorry for the poor photo,. This one could really use magnification.

Yes, someone posted earlier that they read that these flowers rot easily if they get wet. Especially if it was cool when it was wet. Sorry you lost your flowers. Of course there could be a different reason but I bet it was from getting wet. Next time try not to get them wet and see what happens. Good luck.

Interesting note: my family really liked this little guy. Spouse even took cell-phone pictures to show it off. Really odd, for my family.
