Wowzer, those are some happy plantlets. You're rocking at this! Interested to see how the Leo x Dragon cross blooms out, I'm sure they'll be fragrant and waxy, but have no clue how the color will turn out.

Me too! Here’s one of the bigger ones producing its first eye

That's so exciting that YOU raised that from the very beginning!!

Me too! The phals have been one of my favorites to grow so far.

There were 8 C. aurantiaca with good growth and robust roots. One is variegated which is cool and a couple are pushing new growths. These were plated on 12/10/22, so right at a year and 10 months…definitely too long. I think typically, these could be ready to deflask in 18 months or less.

Very nice

Starting to see new growths on almost all the deflasked Inno. munificums. One has a huge new growth in process…it’s interesting as the initial plantlets are so small.

Cool!
