Habenaria radiata 2011 - It's that time of year!

[Sirius]

I will be updating this thread randomly as my Habenaria radiata orchids grow and hopefully bloom. I planted them on April 3rd, 2011. The most current photo will always appear at the top.

I purchased the tubers from Van Bourgondien. I used their wholesale site this year, as you get a much better deal if you buy multiple packs of tubers. You also get 3 tubers per pack instead of 2 by buying through this site. www.kvbwholesale.com

Looking forward to them, I love these guys but haven't tried them yet...

Very nice... Can't wait to see the whole potful in flower soon.. I'm always amused every time I dig out my pecteilis susannae tubers. They look like hairy potatoes!

I love this little species. Hope its a great season for you for blooms.

A friend in Malaysia has plants in the highlands, so this year if I get pollen I want to cross it with Pecteilis susannae and see what happens.

Good growing John
