Phalaenopsis violacea coerulea II

It is quite large but not in the best conditions. Phalaenopsis violacea coerulea has lost large leaf to rot, tips of the newer leaves were black too. I cut the tips off and put cinnamon on cuts. There is not much roots, so I was debating with myself if I should log it now or wait until it looks better. But then decided to log in everything, even the smallest seedlings.
If something doesn't make it, or gets traded, or given away - I will remove it from My Orchids list and file under Orchids archive.

Gone due to crown rot. Archived.

Phal. bellina alba x pulchra alba

Just a small seedling - Phalaenopsis cross of alba varieties of two fragrant species - bellina and pulchra. I really hope it survives and brings me beautiful flowers some day.

Rhynchostylis coelestis

Here is one unresponsive plant. All the other vandaceous would grow several new leaves during the time it was here. Rhynchostylis coelestis had shown the small start of new leaf and its been there for months. It doesn't grow, it doesn't die.
Is it supposed to be that slow, or it doesn't like to be in a vase and I should pot it somehow? I don't know...



I trimmed away some ugly brown roots that it initially came with, it grew some new roots but that's about it.

Mounted mini phals

Here is yet one more mounting I just created. This log of a driftwood came from the pet store too. I put several small mini-phals and one haraella baby on it. There are 4 plants in total on the mount, from left to rght they are: Phalaenopsis gibbosa seedling, Phalaenopsis parishii seedling, small seedling of Haraella retrocalla and last but not least - blooming sized Phalaenopsis lobbii with two spikes.
I put small dab of sphagnum moss under each plant. Hopefully they will be ok. I killed one Phal lobbii potted into sphagnum, this one I decided to mount.



Small Haraella retrocalla baby came off the large one when I potted it on arrival. I will label it Haraella retrocalla II.

Oncidium Sharry Baby

Is that a new growth starting on my newly purchased Onc. Sharry Baby? I think so:



And couple new roots are showing up too. I got it month ago on Montreal show and looks like it is establishing well in the new home.
