The box they shipped my new orchids in measures 35"Lx7"Wx7"D. They REALLY did an outstanding job packing these  They curved the spike just so, without causing any damage to the buds or the spike itself. It took me about 5 minutes to remove the shredding packing bits they wrapped around it to protect it! 
The The Sharry Baby itself measures about 40" from the top of pot to the tip of the spike, has about 70 buds (1 is already blooming  ), and is potted in a 4" pot. |

Hausermans is a great outfit. I've always been happy with their plants. |

Wow Scruffy! What is that orchid on your avatar? It is so pretty.  Just so I am not hijacking the thread, I just checked my "want" list and nothing I bought from Hausermann's is on it. I am so gone. I set the list right in front of me while I shopped.  |

I DID buy a Tolumnia. It isn't that gorgeous, but still irresistible. What kind of medium is yours planted in?

Check out this thread for Tolu. care, culture and potting medium. Tolumnia Genting Volcano is sick
I have lots of chunky charcoal left from my one repot so if you need some let me know. (I have a teeny net pot too). |

SHARRY BABY 1ST BLOOM!!
Here is a pic of the first bud (fully bloomed )from my Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'!!! The only thing that has me slightly concerned is a yellowing leaf it has. It wasn't in direct sunlight, it's actually the furthest from the window. I did water it with MSU, but at the weakest strength. |

My Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' has a 2nd bud blooming!! It should be fully open by tomorrow morning, judging from the progress made by the 1st bloom. The 1st bloom is giving off a sweet fragrance, just like it's name  It's not chocolate or vanilla scented, more like a sugary baking smell. You have to sniff really close to it to catch it. |

Yeah, if only they could trick my tummy to think it had some 
I'm hoping once all the buds bloom they'll smell more like chocolate |
