have a few new things, but no flowers. our orchid club recently had a compotting clinic (or potting up of previously compotted seedlings), I repotted some plants from the new hampshire os special auction and I de-potted some habenaria rhodocheila tubers to try and clean them up before repotting
mostly under old plastic containers, single and smaller compots of
paph liemianum and sukhakulii from tom kalina, compots of phal bellina,
brassavola david sander, onc. white cloud (trade name). these are
also in the trays sitting on my warm bedroom radiator (with a thick piece
of board between heat and plants)
the two tubers of hab; one with one shoot and the next with two (last year
two shoots altogether). I tried picking off all of the old sphagnum moss
so that when repotted it wouldn't stay soggy and rot, but some has 'glued'
itself to the tubers. I slightly dampened the moss before attempting to pick
it off, and set the tubers in this warm spot so that it would dry a bit before repotting
the paph druryi from new hampshire os auction; on right is rick's
division, mine on left. note how thick the growths are together on the right piece, and the roots!
druryi on right, next left is phal modesta and then phal lowii, all also
sitting on the radiator and the druryi gets some filtered bright light in
the afternoon
