Since most of the orchid flask babies from last summer has moved from the nursery I thought it was time for a new set of little ones. It takes time to look after the little ones, but I really enjoy following their development. Here we have the new gang from Equatorial Plants plus a bottle of Sedirea japonica seedlings I bought from Roellke at the Sofiero Orchid Show in May. I figured it was time to deflask the Sedirea as well so now the nursery is quite full again.
The ones I got last summer has all done really well. I have sold some, other I have already traded for other fun orchids, but most I plant to keep a bit longer and let them get a bit bigger before I trade them. And I will of course keep one or two from each batch for my self.
