I picked up these two today.

The Oberhausen's Diamant has not bloomed yet, any idea when I could expect it to do so? I know sanderianum hybrids can be slow, but this is a pretty big plant, five mature growths and two new ones.
 
The O's Diamant has 5 mature gowths and two starts, not yet bloomed. I put it with my Brassias, so it should get enough light now. The Sacred Dancer looks to be reliable boomer, it has old spikes on all the mature growths. The grower couldn't remember if it is an alba or coloratum, but it was made with fairrianum album.
 
Here is my order from Carter and Holmes.
Left to right: Phrag Hanne Popow, Paph Henrietta Fujiwara, Brs caudata alba, Paph lowii, Paph henryanum, and a freebie, Paph St Swithin.

Ok, Marco, I lied. I picked these three up today from Odom's Orchids.

Brassia Santa Barbara 'Riverbend'
It was way overgrown in a 6 inch pot, so I put it in a basket with a mix of spagnum and styrofoam peanuts.

This was the last one, they said most of theirs died before they could sell them. I think it may be because it was potted in pure sphagnum moss. I put it in a bark mix, there were a few rotten roots but it still has a fair number of good ones.

Two mature growths and a new one, maybe it will think about blooming within the next decade.
