Status reports updates

[Ross]

Just to do an update on several of the posts I made earlier -

Several things have changed with my ‘chids and some observations turned out to be inaccurate. Following are photos and updates.

Dendrobium moniliforme Hakuunrya

The terminal bud I thought was a flower turned out to be a Keiki. I decided today to remove it and plant it so it would become established as a new plant before my son does his watering the end of June. I don’t have much worry about desiccation since the plant is kept at 90%+ humidity in my Orchidarium. The pot in the picture is a 1” thumb pot.



Dendrobium moniliforme Matsushima

Flower buds come and go. The buds that were so robust have started to turn gray and dried looking. New buds are developing. New buds at base of most recent cane appear to be vegetative shoots. Other buds could be anything?



Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta (previous project plant)

This was not in spike when last update was posted, but is now. There are at least two spikes emerging – possibly three.



Aerangis citrata

This beauty has chosen to spike right on schedule (one year later) with at least two flower spikes.



Gastrochilus somai

Once again two flower spikes are on schedule.

Love the moss!

Dyakia hendersonianium

This year is blessing us with one spike. Last year it was two flower spikes.



There are several other updates, but I will post them (and the photos) individually as the 'chids do their thing. As an appetizer, consider a couple Brassavolas, a couple Paphs, a Brassia or two, and who knows what else?
