Also in the mail today were 5 more I bought on Ebay. That's 28 orchids in two days. I have a serious problem.

Wanna list those 28 for us  ?  |

Orchid
My guy just arrived today at work. Everyone was jelous. Very interesting how thick the leaves are! Anyway, do we have a requirement concerning pot-grown or mounted? I was thinking about mounting it. Also, is everyone elses in 2" pots?

I put mine into a clear pot with aliflor...but that may change because I read last night that they like to be mounted.
Everybody in the project will do to the plant whatever they would've done on a regular basis...and we'll see how each different environment and culture regimen works for the plant
I put a picture of mine into the CHAT PROJECT GALLERY last night...I'll schedule monthly update photos so we can all track each other's process.
Happy growing everybody!  |

Where are you gonna put so many orchids??? If you don't have enough room, you could always send it to Queens College. 
If I had my way, I would clean out Oak Hill, Andy's, The Orchid Shop, Little Frog, Orchids of Maui and Quarter Acre Orchids. And more.
But I don't get my way

Hi Tik, they arrived without warning. If you're concerned, you can always call or email them to see if and when your order shipped.
and Tin...I'd like to go on that shopping spree with ya!!!

Yes together we can be like Michael Jackson at the mall.
"I want that, and that, oh and that over there, give me 6 of those. Pack that up, this one too, do you have more of these? Thats pretty, I want 4.  I can't believe you have those, I'll take them all!"

Not concerned at all. I just didn't place the order and Vida promised she would let me know as soon as the box appears. I just think we placed maybe a week after you guys or something.... So I'll just relax and wait for them to appear, then wait for Vida to tell me they are there, find money to pay her somehow, wait for her to have time to get together.... hehehe!!!!
The people at Starbucks are sure to see the funniest exchange ever....
I used to meet there with a perfume / lotion buddy. We would bring gifts, exchange things, sniff things... very funny... but orchids!! A new advance upward on the evolutionary scale hehe
