Tracy, i really like the Barbara Leeann! I've not seen the Waunakee Sunset in bloom, though. What do you have yours growing in and how are you watering them? I'd like to try rockwool, Jason showed me a Jason Fischer growing in rockwool that had GORGEOUS roots. I didn't make it there on Halloween, though, I was there the day before

I'm hoping to make it to the next meeting! I wish I didn't live in an apartment, as it's getting to the point where my window area is too full of plants and i'm not allowed to install any light fixtures that can't plug into a typical three prong outlet

I'm planning on making it to the next OSM meeting this month. If you will be there, I can introduce you to Ross and Julie. They are slipper fans and grow around 1000 paphs in there home (they have no greenhouse). Did you just go to OL yesterday? Did Jason dress up as Captain Jack Sparrow?

You guys need to check out Woodstream Orchids. They have developed a line of mini/compact Phrags. Woodstream Orchids I purchased 2 seedlings from them back in June. I got Phrag. Cape May County (see the thread in this forum for a pic), and Lynn Evans-Goldner. The Cape May County is blooming in a 2" seedling pot. They don't come much smaller than that!

Due to the genetic variability, my Waunakee Sunset seedling turned out to be one of the bi color, red and yellow ones, so, not the pink I was hoping for. It is blooming from a new growth right now but I don't have a current pic. The bloom from before looked like this
Phrag. Waunakee Sunset
I originally had them transferred to rockwool when I first got them. They grew fine but eventually I had so much algae and live moss growing on the rockwool, it was driving me crazy. So I moved them to Kanuma pumice. There's a CA vendor that grows Disa in Kanuma pumice and they do well. I didn't like that either so I've switched all the phrags to a CHC/perlite/charcoal mix now. In this mix, they are watered about every 2 days because I have them under my T5's.

All you need is a 3 prong outlet! You can get a 4 tube 4 ft T5 fixture at a hydroponics store in the Cities. That will plug into any typical wall outlet and greatly increase your growing area. If you need help/ideas about this, let me know. I can send you some pics of my different setups or if I see you at the meeting, you're welcome to stop by and see my grow areas. I can talk to you about the rockwool thing at the meeting too.

Thanks, Terri! I have checked out Woodstream before and indeed, they have some cool stuff.
