Cischweinfia sheehanae second bloom
This was sheehanae last year in the fall (2007):
This year, it has grown a bit:
I'm planning on repotting for one more year, then I'll need to divide, because I haven't the shelf space in the tank for much larger than a 1" pot size increase. It is very fragrant during early morning and late afternoon - not so much mid day. Not like Angraecoids can be, but very pleasant.
Thanks for looking. |

It looks great Ross!  Must be a very happy plant for it to have grown so much in just a year!

Ross,
It's gorgeous, and becoming a wonderful specimen plant. Well done!
I love to see the two pics for comparison sake. It really shows that you've given this guy everything it needs.  |

David, it's interesting you say this. I do seriously believe that if I were to give this plant a large pot to expand into and the whole center of the tank, it would increase in bulk like 4 times over this next year! That's really not acceptable with the limited space I have. I tried holding it back in the same small basket and the roots just went outside and around, and around, and then again outside. Nothing seems to hold it back. Am I complaigning! Naw! I'm just thinking division is in the picture in the next year or so. I may place a section up for grabs on the "For Trade" section. |

Ross,
Although my space is probably less limited than yours, I understand the concept of limits...I've recently had a small sale to make room in my space for new additions, and more importantly, for some plants that I just wanted to grow larger.
I suppose that while there is always room for another orchid, we sometimes need to respect the limits of our space.  |
