Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' AM/AOS

[jtrmd]

This one has been around here for awhile.I got it for a buck when a local nursery was going out of business.It was my second Orchid way back in 2003.I havent let it out grow the 4 1/2'' pot,so everyone in the neighborhood has/had a piece of this.I could imagine the beast I would have on my hands if I let this thing keep doubling in size each year.I didnt measure how tall the spike is,but I would say its 4 1/2' tall.

An impressive spike and a very good plant.

WOW... You really should send me a piece.. I have yet to see Sharry Baby with such excellent spike presentation being sold back in Malaysia...

Amazingly organized branching!

Not really much to it.You just cant move it while the spike is developing.

I tried finding one of these recently, and all I could find was little plugs that had to be ordered from Hawaii. I admit, my orchid searching skills aren't what they used to be, but isn't this still a commonly sold beginner plant?

Yours looks great, and I bet the scent is even better.

As far as I know.I know they have them at a local nursery here in Baltimore,and I seen them at Parkside when I was there a few months ago.I never look at the Orchids at Home Depot,etc..

AM/AOS!! Nice. I have a couple from the Chinatown store but nothing near as nice. Thanx for sharing.

They had them at Trader Joes the last time I was there, a couple week's ago. $7.99 or something. They were small but big enough to bloom and they get big in no time!

Oh yeah, yours looks very nice! I laughed when I read about the neighborhood - I finally sold mine, it was just TOO huge!

If the neighbors dont want them,I toss the extra pieces in the trash.

If it grows well outdoors, you could have used it for landscaping....
