I plan on growing them in my large orchidarium and would eventually like to have them mounted, but I will let them be for now. The ebay listing said they came from Japan to the WOC where someone purchased a few to many and was selling them for a friend on ebay. The seller had a decent rating and with one adult beverage to many, I figured what the heck! I just love the size of these and could easily get hooked on them....hopefully I won't have to wait too long to see blooms! Oh...and one other question, if the tag they came with just has the variation name hand written on them, can I still enter them into a show someday down the road?

Becca,

You are soooo much fun! I am so glad you are here. I am enjoying learning all about orchids and orchidariums with you and the OB gang!

I''ve got to know where did you find them on Ebay? All I have found are the standard ones. . .which are very nice but not super exciting.

I've got my heart set on buying ONE special one at New World Orchids. I've emailed the seller asking for help picking just one in my price range. OMG, there are some expensive ones there. . .I am having sticker shock. . .so it might have to be a SEEDLING or some such. LOL I LOVE the tiger striped ones and the variegated ones. Wonder what I'll end up with? LOL Will post pics of course.
