Yes... I'm sure they will get to your house long before Friday rolls around.

I was under the impression that these were gunna be compact... I may regret ordering three lol. I hope my eyes are deceiving me. I never was a good judge of size from pictures

Mine also should be here Wed. I have two different Miss Wonderfuls and added a Sarco and a Den. Australian Artist. Can't wait. The pictures you guys have posted so far look like the plants are much bigger than I expected. :)

These definitely don't look like compact growers, you are right. I have several compact growers and this "seedling" dwarfs them lol. I hope this is the biggest they get though.

I hope so also. I wasn't planning on having a monster of a plant lol. But, if the flowers make up for the size I'll keep all three :) I think it would be amazing if I could get one awarded and give it a clonal name of my mother's 'violet'

Well I repotted my Miss Wonderful. The media was in good shape but I just have to do it ;) The roots were very tight in that little pot and I had to use tweezers to get some of the media out. There is a clump of spag moss near base of plant, it was in good shape too. I repotted in chunky bark in a clear plastic pot with a lot of air holes. I put some marbles in the bottom to help with stability.

On a side note I bought a bag of Miracle Grow that was FULL of bugs. I will never use them again. This is the first time this has happened but I don't care, never again. Luckily my husband accidentally brought home a bag of Better-Gro special orchid mix and I used that for the first time. Some of the chips are pretty big, but nice and bug-free. I added some ground-up egg shells to top. Some pics of during and after:

Looks like a very happy repot. Fred said that he just repotted them so your observations seem to reinforce that.

You mentioned better grow... Their orchid mix is the only mix I use. The miracle grow seems to be a glorified peat mixture which is a death wish. I have had very good luck with better grow, and their Moss is very good also. I might try repotme.com, but they seem to be a little spendy for what I'm doing now. Just my :twocents:.

Just so I don't lose my marbles when I unbox these, how large are they? Height wise? And did anyone get a spike at all in their hauls?

Ok finally, I got mine ordered. I was trying so hard not to get to many. I am having a hard time taking care of what I have now. so I only ordered 7 :rofl: wanted a paph really bad and didn't do it. Here's my list.

Thanks :) The largest growth is 11 inches from base of plant (not including roots). No spikes on mine but all have active growths and 2 have probable sheaths. I'm happy.
