So yeah, I blame you for my getting 3 more orchids! (because you just can't order one alone!)

Well, I guess fasciata is prone to making basal kiekis, so one small piece could quickly multiply!!! Patrick is definitely one of the best in Canada! So what were the two travelling companions?

Well, just took me nearly a month to spot that question! Not too slow or anything (I guess I should pay attention to the email account I linked to the board more often!)
I ordered a phal. tetrapsis C1 with the fasciata, and surprisingly, a phal. amboinensis made it's way into the package It was very borderline shipping temperature wise, the plants were very cold when I got them. But the fasciata hasn't lost it's one flower, the tetrapsis has 5 spikes (though it lost it's few flowers and is losing 2 old leaves now) and a sixth one is growing and they're all growing new leaves!
Definitely going to call Pat again next shipping season, especially since he told me he has some venosas that smell like bacon

Well, you can't talk about a great haul like this and not share pictures!!! Everything I have from him is doing great, and the Yungho Gelb Canary has two spikes, so I'm (not-so) patiently awaiting flowers!

Yeah, they do look super healthy and nice!
I see some have multiple spikes and some with cute little keikis on them.

Are they all fragrant phals??

[FairyInTheFlowers]

Well, the Rarashati Princess are, but it isn't the most pleasant of fragrances, as it has lots of venosa in it. It actually smells different depending on the time of day. Kingfisher's Princess also did, but once again, it has lots of venosa.
