excellent. is it a cross you made or from the Orchid Zone?
If your division of 'Rex' flowers please post pictures. My division died and I feel I will never see the flower aside from the original award picture.
24 years to get them to flowering??? That's patience - but worth the wait.
Well, IIRC Bob Weltz died and his collection suffered a 'hiatus' shall we say of a few years. Then the family donated to collection to the Huntington where with some dedication from the original poster and Lance Birk it was resurrected. I'm pretty sure this was written up in the Orchid Digest a few years ago. All in all a good story of how conservation can occur. Kudos!
(Edit: I'm sure many people worked on this project and Mr Tam is especially to be congratulated on all his hard work. Kudos to him too!)
(Edit 2: Here's a link to the Huntington's Weltz collection article: http://www.huntington.org/uploadedFiles/Files/PDFs/f10orchids.pdf) Sorry for going on abut this but everyone talks about how our collections are a haven for endangered species, its nice to see it actually work in real life.
