Flask arrival

Fedex delivered the package in time and it was in such a fancy box that I almost wanted to do the "opening box" video as one of those geeks opening new gadget and sniffing it on Youtube.
Inside were a much anticipated flask of Phal. Bedford Nonpareil (P. Penang Girl ‘Ching Ruey’ X P. Princess Kaiulani ‘Chin Yo’ AM), three phals I ordered and two free plants.
I will post about plants later, now about flask.
Ever since I saw that wonderful display of Lowland Juwels at the orchid show, I got this idea to get a flask and grow them all to the blooming size to see the variations in siblings blooms.
Now, I realize that this being my first attempt will not yeld that many of them at the blooming stage, but one should start somewhere and I will be happy if at least couple will survive.
Some pictures of the flask taken in low light, so not very good:







Last picture shows some dried root ends and it bothers me a bit. Maybe I should open it now?
