I must have checked the little bud on the lowii about 20 times today. My greatest fear is that it will drop because of the change in home.... Fingers crossed for me!!!

Wow I didn't know that P. deliciosa would have such large leaves. Nice acquisitions!

Thanks, everyone.... keep those fingers crossed, its looking good so far! Though the deliciosa spike hasn't really moved at all in the past week. Any suggestions from anyone on things that I should pay specific attention to in order to make sure things go well (apart from keeping my fingers crossed!) - speak up now!
Tin, the mount that the two deliciosa plants are on is 2.5" wide x 4.5" tall - to give you some idea of relative size. I ended up ordering these after your post on helping to decide which ones YOU should order! (Its all your fault!) Have you placed your order/got your order yet? I'd love to see what your's look like when they arrive...

I will take a picture of them this week. Hopefully. I got my P. chibae, P. gibbosa and P. deliciosa. The P. deilciosa came with two spikes and 2 buds. Hopefully it will bloom soon.
