Kip - After 40 years of growing orchids, it takes alot to get me excited about a genus that I am not familiar with. You got my attention quickly with these, they are absolutely charming, where did you find them?

[lambelkip]

I got these from Seed Engei at the Santa Barbara Orchid Show. I think they were 5 tubers for $12. I don't think you'll find anybody willing to ship them this time of year, the growths are just too delicate. They're normally only shipped when dormant.

Looks to me like one better have their ducks in a row to babysit that. It's awesome.

Wow! Those are beautiful! My favorite is the peloric because of its crisp white color with the deep blue violet center. Gorgeous!

They look like tiny angels in their close-up photos. So pretty. How do you grow them? The culture sheet makes it sound difficult. I don't think hubby would like one in the fridge, but I'd love to get one. Your plants look so healthy and happy. Hope you share your secrets.
