Phalaenopsis sumatrana progress

Phal. sumatrana started yet another new leaf:



It did a good job growing this season and is getting closer to a blooming size.
I got it from Clouds last year as a seedling when I had this idea - to collect all phalaenopsis species. I was buying whatever I could get here despite plant size and conditions.

Phal. sumatrana turned out to be a good buy as everything from Clouds.

Phalaenopsis sumatrana

This phal came from Clouds in early fall 2011 and didn't do a thing since then. It came together with couple other plants and all of them showed some action - a new leaf or a new root, but not phal sumatrana. I started to have doubts about the point of this purchase, but...
It must have been waiting for spring, because now - there is a new leaf:


Finally!

New phals repotted

Since my new phals are marked "potted 10/10" and moss looks a bit too dark to my liking, I dared to repot them. Not only repot, but repot into moss again! I put roots of each plant on and around a small packing peanut, carefully wrapped sphagnum moss around and pushed everything into pot.
Here is how they look now.
Phalaenopsis modesta had small keiki that fell off the plant so I potted it separately into tiny plastic pot. If it will survive and grow at least one new leaf - it'll become Phal modesta II and will earn it's own label.

an here is the keiki:


Phal kunstleri:


Phal sumatrana:


Now is the hardest part - keep them alive in sphagnum moss.

Cloud's orchids order

This is the batch from b-day purchases.
Bunch of phalaenopsis and vanda seedlings, again, probably years before blooming:
phalaenopsis modesta, sumatrana and kunstleri
vanda suavis and liouvillei
On the back there is cattleya forbesii which I didn't order but it was a free gift with purchase.
Also on the back is a bag with sphagnum moss to repot my phals.
