Haraella retrocalla (Project 09 contest) and "Project Progress Reports"

That's the ticket, Terri! I am really hoping that perhaps this batch of them are fragrant.

I suppose if it turns out to be a non fragrant one the name could be changed to Smelless Ellis

I received mine today too, but can't think of an appropriate name.

Hi All, Mine came yesterday. I will post a picture after I get it mounted tonight or tomorrow. I didn't realize it was so small. It makes my tolumia look gigantic. You guys are making this very difficult. Not only do we have to bloom this little cutie, now we have to come up with a name.

Big thanks to Dave and Jasen. I'm expecting mine today or tomorrow. Is it the general opinion that the haraella will do better mounted?

Ok!!! Here are my plants. In the third picture you can see "Chuckles" and his body guard and then the rest of the adoring fans Chuckles will more likely be mounted tomorrow. Why is there a preference as to have these guys mounted ???

[whygreenberg]

My understanding is that they do like to be mounted, but of course, it depends on your particular growing conditions. I'm probably going to leave mine potted and see how it does for awhile.

[Roly0217]

Then I think that I might leave it in the pot and see what happens. It has new roots emerging so I don't want to go ahead and mess him up.

If there were some people that left them potted, others that mounted, it would be interesting to see if there are any big differences. Then we would know if mounting really is better or not!
I'm trying to think of a name for mine, but it's not easy!
