Wasnt the plant I ordered, but they sent this one and a freebie too

. Thats how you do business. Very happy with both of them. The plant and the vendor.

Gee, I'd be happy too! The mix of colours are fab! I'll definately keep an eye out for this one

I'm assuming that the purple hints on the picture are light effects due to the slight fuzzyness on the flower itself....?

What a wonderful one. Such long tails, I love them!

I just got a piece of this. Had no idea what it would look like. Thanks for the preview.

I love it. How do you grow yours?

this one went into a jar world

. Re-potted right away in sphagnum pre soaked with my weekly weakly mix of Peters Cal/Mag and Superthrive. Im even particular as to what kind of moss I use, 'Angel Moss' which is sphagnum from New Zealand, and also a brand name. Its just as good as the 15 dollar cube bag of ZooMed NZ moss and @ only 30 bucks a giant Bale.

. I soak the moss when or if it gets a little dry. The water in the jars just gets transferred back and forth from day to night from hot to cold. Its a microsystem

> I do water the plants by misting them. They live under 4 ft T8 lamps (6) at 5000k 16 hours a day @ 72 degrees, night time is around 65.
And yes it does have some fractal properties with the light bec of the colored hair that stands up on the flower. I forgot what that was called

heres a good shot of the jars with the hydroton or lava rock moss concoction.

That is a gorgeous masdie! I love the colour and shape. And I love your jar world set up.

oh wow! that's spectacular! hard to be unhappy about getting the wrong plant, when this is what you got!

thanks you

the plant was nice and the extra plant was nice too. I think thats the result of ordering from a vendor more than a few times. After a few visits they know what you like. If you just happen to order something maybe that should have been updated or deleted, they have back up for you...sorry about the ugly stake I didn't have anything else suitable and the bloom wouldn't cooperate. It was photoshy

I didn't even notice the stake - that bloom grabs all your attention!
