Wow! Great growth. Those Phals look like they're really close already. The others are making fantastic progress.

Everything is looking great! Agreed on the phals; Just want get them all a tad bigger. The Inobulbum are pretty slow going but the orange cattleya are growing like weeds.

I'm not surprised that the Inobulbon is slower.. my mature plant doesn't grow fast. It's in the Dendrobium family (actually reclassified as Den.), and most of those are pretty slow compared to Phals and Catts.

Ah, good to know. Crazy thing on the orange catts is that they were plated 12/12/22; They might be able to come out this summer as well!

C aurantiaca grows like a weed. So I'm not surprised that the babies mature fast.

Can’t wait to send you a flask!

My Leo x Dragon cross. Just got these transferred…should have been done about 3 months ago but slacked off. Running them on half strength P748 with coconut water. Hopefully see some quick growth. Both parents are AOC registered so hoping to name them as long as the cross hasn’t been made yet.

Just put these 2 together. I had 2 capsules growing on the phoenicea from leo pollinia but they aborted. Hopefully, this cross will take and the capsule fully develop. I typically shoot for 2 capsules per cross but the phoenicea pollinia were so tiny I used the 4 I had on a single flower.

Was forced to deflask a few of my phals due to mold popping up. They’re right at 1.5 years old.

Had to pulll another flask of phals due to mold. I may have a filter issue as I’m running 4 layers of micropore tape and they’d gone through the wash. Gonna go back to polyfil. A couple are nice sized and there are different phenos in color and shape which is cool.
