Oh Sheridan I ordered some of the same ones you did. I have an Iwanagara but this one looked so interesting. The TGP looked good too. Wish that was all I got. Such lovely photos!

Well I placed my order too! Got the Phal. (violacea 'Tequila Sunset' x self and the White w/Colored Lip Phalaenopsis Com Pots. With any luck that means 16 or so new plants. Now the long wait.

I received my order today too

I got a Phal. Stuartiana x self in a 2.5" pot and an Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' in bud. Their packing was flawless, which I've come to expect. There was no room for the plants to shift in the box and the spike on the Sharry Baby survived it's trip without damage. Even the buds were in good shape!!

This time around the medium looked fresher but I'm still going to repot, just to be on the safe side. I might hold off a bit with the Sharry Baby so I don't disturb the buds.

I'll post

later...

Here are pics of my purchases. After spending some time getting the cool air from my a/c, one of the buds on the Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' started to open

I'll probably repot the Phal. Stuartiana x self on Sunday morning, after soaking the fresh medium overnight. I'm still debating on whether I should repot in medium bark mix or transfer it to s/h

Oh my word! That Sharry Baby is huge!!!!! It must have been in a very large box...I mean a box the size of the whole UPS truck!
I just measured my Catt. Bob Betts which is in an 8.5" pot and it's 9" around and 17" tall. I find that amazing, but your plant leaves me speechless....well, not really, I'm never speechless, I can go on and on and on!

I should have the OB name of 'motormouth' instead of kiki.

BTW, I will post pics soon also.

The box they shipped my new orchids in measures 35"Lx7"Wx7"D. They REALLY did an outstanding job packing these

They curved the spike just so, without causing any damage to the buds or the spike itself. It took me about 5 minutes to remove the shredding packing bits they wrapped around it to protect it!

The The Sharry Baby itself measures about 40" from the top of pot to the tip of the spike, has about 70 buds (1 is already blooming

), and is potted in a 4" pot.

Wow Scruffy! What is that orchid on your avatar? It is so pretty.

Just so I am not hijacking the thread, I just checked my "want" list and nothing I bought from Hausermann's is on it. I am so gone. I set the list right in front of me while I shopped.
