Thanks Tommy. What is hard to see on this picture are the roots, they are all very big and healthy. When the sun rises, I'll see if I can get a picture.

Those are gorgeous! Brassavola hybrids are my favorites! I will have to find a source for them

SJF, I'm actually looking for homes for these seedlings. My Orchid Society is meeting this Sunday. It is our annual "Sell Your Excess Orchid" Fundraiser for our society. If you are interested in getting any of these seedlings presented here, please PM me.
Be aware that these are just out of the compot. Flowering will probably take 2-3 years from now--depending on your grow conditions. I think they grow faster and come to flower size given the right warmth, moisture, and light.

These seedlings are doing so well! The brassavola hybrids have one of the most appealing shapes...at least to me. I can't believe I only have two brassavola/hybrids...B. nodosa and Bc. Maikai 'Louise'. These two look to be gorgeous and your society members are lucky!

In both sets of plants, what I am most impressed with are the roots--very strong and fat! I have watered these with rain water. I did give them a good soaking of fish emulsion two weeks ago, last weekend I gave them KelpMax from FirstRays. I do not know if you can tell, but the leaves have slightly reddish borders. I put them in different pots so that I can tell the difference. But the plants have differentiated themselves: the (Little Stars x Maikai) 'Hawaii' is twice as large as the Mem. Vida Lee 'Limelight'

Just got a confirmation that these two plants has shipped from Hilo, HI. The note came from Carmela Orchids? I have not bought any plants from Carmela--I have heard of them. This will be my first.

Carmela's are great! |
