Looking good!!!! How did you print your labels?
Hi Eric, I sent you an email yesterday. See if that will work and we can go ahead!
It's one of those waterproof clear mailing labels that you can buy in any office stores like staples or office depot. Then I just stick it to the plant tags. It stays there forever. Hate writing the parent name in the label for ~ 20x and in this case. Its a chinese character so that will quadruple the frustration.

Great growing and good luck! Paph. delenatii is my second favorite orchid. That's a great idea for printing labels.

Wow, very cool and awesome growing!!!! I've been wanting to try a Phalaenopsis flask, but so far nothing has caught my fancy. I'm hoping for some interesting crosses come spring.

It's good to know that you have had good success with clear ink jet labels.... I was told that the ink would wash away and that you can only use laser printers. I have used paper labels but they get moldy.
Oops. I used Laser printer when I printed it.
I used inkjet printed labels - FAIL!
All faded to unreadable over 12 months but stuck well.
My experiments with dymo thermal printed labels is going well. No fading in strong sunlight at over 6 months in the orchid house.

The label info is very helpful too! I have been wondering about label options.
Hey guys, Just wanted to clear things up about the label. I did not use the inkjet one. I used the laser one. The latter works fine and doesn't fade. I do grow plants under T5 though so I am not sure about GH conditions like being exposed to natural sunlight.

Damn.... I'm going to have to go out and find a cheap laser printer. Thanks for the clarification!

Just curious, what did the flask cost?
That sure is a sale price. I've never seen a flask in the U.S. for those kind of prices.

I think the cheapest flask I've seen is $45 for P. liemianum from Fox Valley Orchids. What a good price you got yours for!
