Gloria, I just got my order from Clouds as well. Only took 3 days to get here which was pretty good! I ordered only one Miltonia and it also arrived in spike! My Pharg. Mountain Maid and Cymbidium Miss Taipei are also in spike....I was very pleased with the order for the most part but the Paphs were much smaller thna I thought....I'll have to wait years for blooms.

Low humidity is no problem here...we only hit 21 C yesterday but the humidity was still 53%...that what happens when you are surrounded by the ocean.

Sweet!! Todd, which milt did you get?
I was overall pretty happy with the order, all look very healthy. I agree with you about some of the paphs. My wardii was fair size, My susan booth was a monster with 2 new growths. I pick up only 1 phrag from clouds this time, again 2 new growths just starting. Also 2 from paramounts. I'm happy with the sizing and price - normally their small in size, but I did well this time.

Mountain maid blooms in the spring too?? Mine bloomed last fall.

I expect it will be mid-summer before Mountain maid flowers as the spike is just barely visible. I got Miltonia Woodlands. Should be open in late June I'd guess.

I'll be at Paramount in about 3 weeks to hand-select more Paphs and Phrags!
