My first flask baby orchids have grown up enough to move out into the world. They are still small, but they are off to a good home. A quite well grown little Dendrobium cyanocentrum and a Promenaea rollinsonii baby plus a little keiki off my Gastrochilus calceolaris is now on their way to their new home with Jonas in Malmö. We have been talking about this trade for a couple of months already, but it has been too cold to ship anything until now. I’m getting a division of Pleurothallis sarracenia, some really cool carpet forming Bulbophyllum sp. (nicknamed “skägget” = “the beard”) and a lovely orange Cattleya hybrid in this trade.
By the way… I know I have ridiculously maternal instincts for these little guys… I call them my “flask babies” – or as my dear brother affectionately calls it – the “orchilds.” Mainly because he really sucks at spelling and thought that it actually was the name of my blog, and perhaps it should be, but that is a whole different story. 😉
