They arrived today in a fairly large box. OMG! They are BIG plants with looooooooooong roots. I ordered V. merillii x Gordon Dillon 'Lea' & V. Mimi Palmer x tessellata. I only paid $48 and $40, respectively. Although the shipping was more than a plant price, I really don't mind at all.
Take a look at them. Their leaf spans are at least a foot and a half and they had over 3 feet long roots. Unfortunately, I had to trim them shorter to put them in my Vanda house.
Laura, although Smiely said that it should have "root beer" scent, I cannot smell it. Maybe it releases the scent during the day ( while I am away for work. ). I just love the color of the flower. For some reason, my camera does not capture "purple" well. The color is more like dark brownish purple.
