Had a thought re the 'flowering size seedlings' (forgotten which they were!) Maybe they meant the plants were grown from seed rather than clone/division?

I know Paramount has caught me with that comment before. If it's on their website that this was found, it is likely that they are stating they were from seed not cloned and are now flowering size.

I don't think so, since baby plants grown from seed or from meristem culture are both called seedlings. The only division seems to be seedlings vs divisions. Which is why NBS seedlings really puzzles me. For me, NBS is neither a mature adult plant, nor a seedling, it's the teenager of orchids!
