Project 2015 Summer: Lc. Miss Wonderful
 

Here is my order from SVO today:
Lc. Miss Wonderful 'Billy B.' AM/AOS x (Lc. Tokyo Magic x Slc. Dream Cloud) 'Heart of Gold' is on the far right. It looks like a sheath is starting on the newest large growth.

Lc. Miss Wonderful, Orchid Project, Summer 2015
 

Hi Everyone! As you may have seen, the orchid project for us cattleya lovers has taken off. In this thread we will see the progress from shipment to sheath :) (I am ever hopeful I will get blooms). Go ahead... Post away! I await your updates :)

@Camille, could we make this a sticky thread? Thanks!

I've added the sticky for you. I've also copied in one post from Wintergirl showing plants.

Have fun :biggrin:

Thank you Rosie!!!

Could you post a close up of the Miss Wonderful cross? Just curious of the form it is growing in. For some reason I wasn't able to get the picture very large to see your beautiful plants.

My order came in Yesterday, but I had a dinner party to attend so here they are today! I only ordered 3 plants, but he gave me an extra Miss Wonderful since I'm an AOS member.

Both of them have the same L. anceps, so it should be interesting to see how the siblings compare to each other. One had a sheath that is dry, so I'm not sure if it will flower or not. The other one has new growth, but no sheath :dunno: guess we will see.

The other 2 I got are:

L. tenebrosa v. aurea 'SVO' x. L. tenebrosa v. alba 'Thonhauser's Treasure'

C. trinae 'Cashens' x. self

Those look really nice! And... Your scaring me a wee bit. Are these as huge as the pictures make them look?

Those bulbs though! They look so succulent!

The pseudobulbs are a little wrinkled, the new growth is really big. The sheath inside looks a little dry, hope all is well.

Bulbofett, A dinner party and an extra plant, nice :)

I got a email saying mine wouldn't be here till Wednesday and will be shipped out Monday and I even ordered them Thursday.. It said 2 day delivery but its really going to be a week. Crazy I just hope because of the 4th of July they don't sit in a mail room some where in the heat we have been having here. It was 98 the other day.

I think you will be fine. They probably waited until Monday so it didn't sit on the weekend. They use FedEx, it was really fast.
