Wow! Lots of fun coming up for you! Those are some good-looking roots on those plants.

I see a fun project in your future :)

The Hiroshima Choice (Neofinetia falcata x V. flabellata) surprised me. Not only is it a gift; it has 2 big and 2 small fans, and is in bloom, with a nice pinky-orange, reticulated flower. They are $12 (seedling) to $22 (blooming size) on the Web site.

Looking forward to your flowering posts!

Lucky you.
