You know that you can find out where your package is by using the DHL tracking number that they sent you in an email? Takes the guesswork out of delivery dates?times!

Yes, I found out that it was in a depot seven miles away at 05.33am today which means they will be here in about an hour

They're here! Two of them were smaller than expected and the Dtps had four flowers but one was broken off en route. The others had no spikes but given that two of them are not flowering size that's not important. They were very well packed indeed and every care had been taken so that they didn't sustain major damage; I can handle one flower being broken off but considering they came from Germany in a box they faired better than I would have! lol I'll post pics of the Dtps are soon as they have fully opened.

Yay, the waiting is over!!
They really do pack them well, don't they? I'm happy for you that the Dtps is in bud. Can't wait to see pics! I'd love to see a group shot of all of them.

Now it's my turn to wait, I have one box which might have arrived today (with 2 orchids) - can't wait to get home to check!-, and then another box (with 1 orchid) arriving middle of next week hopefully.

Well, here they be In fact it's almost my entire collection thus far. However, one has to start somewhere. Take note over the coming months as to how much window glass is hidden by plants! lol My bedroom window is a temporary home for some pleiones as is my bathroom...

These are the buds on Dtps. Chain Xen Pearl

On the right is Lc. Hauserman's Gala 'Z1164', Slc. Hawaiian Splash 'Lea' in the middle, and Bl. Morning Glory 'Valentine Kiss' on the left


The bulk of my collection...

Nice! That windowsill isn't going to be large enough soon, lol. Hope those buds won't blast, luckily the weather is warming up so there's less of a risk.

Looks like the middle Catt (pic 2) is potted in sphag with gravel/bark on top? Probably a good idea to repot.

Yes, I think so too. I could re-pot Hauserman's Gala as well which would give me the pot I need for 'Hawaiian Splash'. I need a bigger window!

Oh, I'm so longing for those buds to open! Can I be selfish and ask for a picture in this thread so I don't miss them? (even if you did put them seperatly in one of the other forums) Like I said, I would really like one of these, but I've only seen vendor pictures not 'real' ones

LMAO! Of course I'll post a few pics. I, too, have seen various 'Pearls' that were almost solid purple with a few white flecks but few were like the pic in in the Schwerter web site - I hope, REALLY hope, that mine turns out like their photo lol.
