Laelia anceps (Project 10 int. - Spring 2010)
 

This is where you discuss your progress with the 2010 Spring project Plant "Interm" .Laelia anceps
Thanks to everyone who participated in this project and look forward to our progress reports.

I ordered mine today along with the Rhyn for the warm project... I can't wait for them to arrive! Here we go! :bananaslide:

:D I'm driving to CO's orchid vendor tomorrow to get a division they're giving me! So excited.

:cheer: Off to get my L. anceps! This will be my first visit to an orchid grower. Woo!

How exciting! Hope you can get a few :photo:!

;) camera charged and packed.
Along with a nice tall cardboard box that's good for plants, towels, newspaper, and an insulated cooler.
(it just had to be windy and stormy today didn't it.)

Braved the wind and cold and we all got home safe!
The division I got looks great- only two established pbulbs with giant leaves, but one very healthy new growth, and about 5 or 6 new leads starting that I can see. They helped me pot it up for free.
:X A teeny Den. aggregatum and a flowering Pot. Samantha Duncan 'Paradise' found their ways into my car as well.

:evil: Those Den. aggregatum's sure are sneaky! One of them jumped into my shopping cart last weekend!

:D We'll have to compare the little guys!
Mine's just a teeny one in a little thumb pot- super happy though.
The greenhouse I went to was splendid- I was really impressed with their service and plant health.
Not to mention, got the warm fuzzies when a group of elderly people came in a bus to enjoy all the flowers- apparently it's almost a weekly thing, they really add to the community.

Looks like the L. anceps available to me in Canada is either alba, or mounted. I believe that I will be going with the mounted plant since it is from a grower I like and who is close to my home. I have never had a mounted plant before. Is there a great deal more care involved??
