Oooo weeee gorgeous colour!

Thanks Gloria,
A few people have commented on my greenhouse thread that they are surprised how large this flower is, you can't get a sense of scale really from the pics I've posted here. Here's my shot of my greenhouse mounts with the masdi at the side. Gives more of a sense of scale. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7104/7...e4514dcf19.jpg |
You can't miss that beautiful large flower for sure!
Rosie, you're grow area looks so well put together and so clean - looks just great! :bowing |
:coverlaugh: well it's clean because I've just give in the 'spring' clean out after the winter... thankfully no pics of it as it was just before that :)
|
Loooooooooooool!! You make me laugh Rosie, I didn't even think about that one, ha ha. You clean up well :biggrin:
|
It's gorgeous! I think I must get one!

As always, I love it when your veitch flowers. Just beautiful!!
I also had the problem with new growths getting out of the sheaths on a few of my Masdies (when I had a bigger collection). I found that increasing ambient humidity and not frequency of watering helped a lot in taking care of this problem. If left unchecked your orchid could die from investing so much energy into making leaves that never live long enough. |
Thanks Tindo,
I do try to keep humidity up when I can, I think that when I'm forgetting to water I'm also forgetting to do anything about humidity (regular water on the greenhouse floor helps) so for me the two are linked. I bet it's high just now, didn't look this morning but it's been raining all night and the door was open so probably high humidity in the greenhouse :) I'm not to worried about the growths as while are couple of struggling to free from the sheaths there are lots that appear to be doing fine. At one time when I first got this they were all doing it, so one or two out of so many growths is not so concerning. |
