Beautiful! I like how you played with the angle, too. That first shot is calendar worthy, just my opinion.
Sorry about your seedlings. I haven't had much luck with seedlings either. I don't think moving between school and home several times every year is conducive to seedling growth, lol. Established plants are tough enough to handle the travel.

They are selling the 3.5" pot for $9.99. Not quite sure if that is seedling size. I'd assume that 3.5" pot is going to be a pretty well established plant.
I wish that SBOE had a little more info on their site as Im busy as all get out during their business hours with school. |

Yea, I emailed both. Im very happy with my last order from Hausermann's and at the sale, I can grab another orchid (a dend hopefully) for the price of the one from SBOE without shipping.
Mans gotta do what a mans gotta do on a college budget.  |

Exactly. I like to do my research which is why I dug up a 2 month old thread from you!
In all seriousness, I will likely buy from SBOE in the future when I can afford some of their beautiful plants. For now, Im left with scouring the net for deals and smaller plants.

Both places confirmed that they will be blooming size with SBOE saying it would have 4 bulbs and Hausermann saying it would have 4 or more.
