scary and fun! "New Milts"
 

I receive a small haul from clouds orchids this morning. I've always been super happy about pulling orchids out of those boxes, But NOT this morning!!!!

Talk about a freakish moment in time as I began unpack some of the orchids, You'll see why once you see the first photo.
I didn't know whether to get the gloves or RUN!
I've never seen fungus like this :blushing:

Hats of to cloud orchids once again for bringing us/ME great quality of 'chids and abit of extra fun while unpacking :biggrin:

:yikes:

Andy's ships all his this way. I love that stuff. Could make a pillow from all the stuff I've accumulated! :)

Ditto ! that kind of fungus I like :clap:

That's not fungus .. that's .. ?? .. orchid navel lint! .. :coverlaugh:
BTW which milts are they??? :hmm
and they are in spike and budded! ... woohoo :banana:
Bring on those :photo: :D

I was stunned - Never receive orchids like that, although I've got them in a plastic tube thingy. :biggrin:

Much luck with them .. :)

Thank you Dorothy, I would be correct to assume you have atlease 1 milty? Maybe 2 .. 3 .. 4 of them??
What kinda better luck are you lookin' for :hmm

I had one .. with many pseudobulbs and it was very root bound .. most of the pbs rotted and I have but one left.:(
I am hoping it takes .. :) (fingers crossed)
It hasn't been real humid here this year so far and I am just not set up to provide for it.
I am sure you will do better! :)
Good growing and great health to your milts! :D

Your too funny Gloria!

Great looking plants btw :D
