Lovely bunch of blooms! Everything looks happy and healthy!

Very beautiful!

Hey Bob -- Your plants look beautiful! Can you tell me more about how you have your sedeira potted up? Mine is mounted right now and isn't getting enough moisture....Help!

Katie :)

Nice going, Bob! They're all lovely.

:)

thanks everyone! im a proud guy today :D

katie- i got it at the longwood show. i got it with the mound ( im guessing that the method, it had the roots in a ball of sphag, it looked like from the outside ) i just stuck that in the pot with LECA on the bottom and some extra sphag on the corners to keep it tight. im just watering about 1x a week

All very beautiful..well worth the wait I'm sure :clap:

yes definitely worth the wait. just in time for easter

Waiting in suspense for MORE!

I have more pics. But it's the same flower. I didn't think you would want to look at five pics of one flower


You can call me Bob ;)

"have no fear, help is here!"

they all look fabulous! I esecially love the Masdie! good growing!

Great photos

Awesome pics and growing!

Gorgeous pics. I love that first NoID Phal, lovely start shape blooms. Gorgeous Masdie too!

Gorgeous!

Thanks! That's what sold me on the Phal. The cute shaped blooms.

I think the masdie is by far the most rewarding. The rest weren't hard to bloom. But I still love them. The white noid Phal that isn't open in the pics is open half way now. And it's a looker too.

Congrats. ! beautiful blooms :)

I know what you mean. One of mine is in flower just now and I just feel so thrilled to know I'm managed to keep it happy. A second one has just started a spike as well so I'm double thrilled just now :biggrin:

Thanks gin.

Rosie. I know! I'm so stoked. This one has a second spike about leaf height.
