Hooray! I am finally about to get some blooms here, after a nice summer of growing, (and a winter of buying in the case of the
venosa ) This is the monster
tetraspis 'C#1' that I got from Pat at Kingfisher Orchids last summer, and it had a huge amount of spikes since then, and I think it has made two new spikes and a few branches since then. It's a monster, I tell you! (Even though this species is relatively small)
A picture for you!
And here it is after I staked some of the spikes.
Thankfully the
venosa that I got from Ten Shin Orchids in Feb has started to make two buds on its spike and grow a few roots instead of blasting a spike or sulking.
Full plant shot.
Hmm, I thought I had a closer picture of the spike, but you can see the buds.
I'll update this thread when they bloom. Maybe sooner to update on the
venosa buds.
