The babies arrived from Equatorial Plants in Durham UK by the end of August 2008. I had arranged a large order (50+ hobby flasks) together with some virtual friends on an orchid forum I frequent. It was quite s bit of logistics to pull together but it was fun.
I had 5 flasks with about 5 babies in each for myself in the order. They were technically not really flasks as the guys had deflasked them before shipping and just sent them in plastic tubes that needed to be plantet out as soon as they arrived. My very first flask babies, all very exciting!
My order:
* Paphiopedilum bellatulum
* Cattleya schilleriana
* Promenaea rollinsonii
* Phalaenopsis wilsonii
* Phalaenopsis amboinensis
* Dendrobium cyanocentrum (blue)
Here is a few pics from the deflasking ‘party.’
Since I started this project before I started this blog the first few dates will be off.
