Who was selling flasks of hang?

Thank you everybody.

Who was selling flasks of hang?

I have pre-ordered it from Hung Sheng through Ellen Lee from Crystal Star Orchids.
I ordered only one flask to try because wasn't sure about the quality and conditions when shipped all the way from Taiwan, but was really impressed. I will definitely get more

 

[NYEric]

Crystal Star only had multis and complexes BS so I didn't get anything. Not like the Liberty Taiwans they had last year. Good pick-up!

My Dollgoldi didn't come from Crystal Star, only hang flask. Dollgoldi came from Le Paradis des Orchidées. They have quite a few parvi hybrids of good size and quality(my Deperle and Magic lantern came from them too)

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

All excellent looking!
Sounds like you have a great collection

Thank you Paph_LdyMacBeth.
By the way, I didn't get any paphs from Orchis, only vandas and phals. I got message that they didn't have time to prepare papers for paphs.
Oh well, less hit on my pocket .

Paph. callosum x sib ('Perfect Circle' x 'Vini Beauty'):

I am getting dangerously low on space...

 

[AdamD]

Nice purchases! I had been thinking about the Paul Parks. Great parents on that one. They look happy!

 

[Migrant13]

Good pick ups. Time to find more space!

 

[orchideya]

Thank you guys!
I like sanderianum hybrids because of the long petals. Probably eventually will get all of them.
AdamD, how are your PEoY babies doing?

 

[AdamD]

They are doing great! Had to trim a leaf back on a couple of plants, but other than that they are acclimating well and putting up new leaves #2. I'm thinking they need repots but I don't want to disturb fragile roots. It's only been 6 months or so. But CHC is tricky stuff. I've almost quit using it altogether.

How are the sandy and stonei babies doing? I know we got our flasks at approx. the same time. Have you repotted yet?

 

[AdamD]

I put some pics up of them on my collection thread.

 

[orchideya]

I didn't loose any sandie yet but only have 9 stonei seedlings left. That rot through the stem killed all the rest. The leftovers doing great though.
I have repotted just because wanted to see how the roots are doing, I have no patience at all.

Sorry to hear that! If you ever want to buy a few stonei seedlings, let me know!

Thank you Paphman910. I think 9 stonei seedlings is still plenty for me

 

[Justin]

wow lots of nice plants out of flask, great collection!

Paul Parks

I decided to upgrade Paul Parks seedlings from tray to pots today:

Crowded tray:

Comfy pots (I use plastic drinking cups because of their see-through nature):

Looking good?
