Best,

Good luck. I hope it blooms well for you.

Got it today! The blooms are fantastic!!!! Better than I had hoped! The plant is good...I think I judge plants kind of harshly now that I grow everything in sh, all of my plants have done incredibly well...the one I got seems a little dehydrated but it's clearly grown well. Super excited to have it finally. I've always wanted a Stuart!

I've got a stuartiana in spike now and I can't wait to see the flowers. I got it as a seedling about 2.5 years ago and originally put it in semi-hydro and it limped along. I transferred it to sphagnum about 8 months ago and it is doing much better as shown by the spike. S/H just doesn't seem to work for me with my hard well-water and New England climate.
I can't wait to see the flowers! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I'm glad you happy with your new orchid. I think it's a beautiful version of stuartiana. When it was awarded it had 100+ flowers. I think you made a good purchase. Congratulations.
