My growing order of Phals...

[The Mutant]

I don't need to mention that it's mine as well, do I? Just love those little buggers! I have five at the moment (six if I include the dying aurea) and two more will arrive this week!

Unfortunately, only two of them are working on spikes and buds, the third one is too young to bloom and the other two bloomed right before I bought them...

As long as Schwerter doesn't add anymore equestris or interesting equestris hybrids, my order shouldn't swell anymore...I hope...

It will feel like a holiday when they all arrive! All the 'presents' to unwrap and see!

Ah yes, the joy of "travelling companions"...

You're lucky you're sticking to phals, because that vendor has tons of great things...!

Geez your order is getting large! And I'm happy to have played a part in its increase.

At this point I really really don't think it's the cold that's keeping them from shipping. They'll ship down to freezing usually, and it's been quite warm the past 2 weeks. Something else must be going on.

My order is also getting a bit large, but I'll wait to officially order only after next weekend's show. Don't know what I'll buy there!

So far my Schwerter order is this:
*Dtps. Liu's Berry
*Pot. Chief Sweet Orange 'Sweet Orange'
*Phalaenopsis Mini Mark
*Cycmodes Wine Delight FCC/AOS
*Dendrobium antenatum
*Phalaenopsis Liodora (from what I read on internet this is a trade name of either Phal Sweet Memory or Phal Miva Fragrance)
*Phal parishii

I'm now facing a problem. It's an enjoyable one, but still a problem. Schwerter has finally removed their "No shipping due to cold temepratures"-announcement which means that they should send my early Christmas gift soon. I'm now debating whether I should add a Phal. celebensis and a Phal. lindenii to my order or not... I think the flowers are very cute on both species but the foliage is to either die or kill for.

I have found both at another vendor but at a higher price than at Scwherter. And I figured that the shipping cost won't change since it seems set. I was also thinking that by placing such an enormous order I won't have to buy anything from them for at least five years.

So, what to do, what to do...

Hmm... Why am I not surprised by your reply, Cody?

Lindenii might be the pickiest of those two, but celebensis should grow just fine if you're doing well with your other phals. Try and stop yourself, otherwise you wont be able to pay for the fert to keep them alive

And don't forget that when you order the project plant next month, it can't travel alone, Project plants always need a few TCs!! (TC = travel companion)

That's quite a few plants for one order, but I would totally do it if I had more space! there are sooo many plants I want!

By the way, I would be dying waiting for such order.
