I think I have the bud now! It continually sent sheaths in the winter without elongating so my spike isn't too tall.


At my local show an asian importer imported large quantities of all types of orchids, I didn't purchase from them because I know they were geared towards making big bucks rather than care for keeping them santitary. One of the plants offered were Psychopsis Mariposa 'Green Valley'. The strangest thing was that they were all different sizes! The array of sizes was quite large. If they were mericlones the leaves and pseudobulbs would be similar, so I suspect that they were all selfings. Now I'm in question if mine was a selfing too because I bought mine from a internet auction vendor who imports a lot of asia, and I had to make a grex name correction on his catalogue for him (he just said he writes whatever is on the flask). Now referring back to the sales table recently, mine would be on the smaller end for size. Is selfing plants easier to mass produce these plants?
