Lisa,
C & H had one at the Charleston show in their exhibit.....it was to die for....the smallest blooms I have ever seen and a yellow center....I am still drooling.....mine isn't showing a sign of a spike !

Loverly!!!

That is terrific! How big does that guy get total plant size? (I'm still keeping my eye out for smallish plants that I can grow in my windowsill or kitchen counter under lights).

I have a schlimii seedling that I got 9 months ago from Mike (aka the Orchid Fairy). It's very small, 2 little leaves, and has been holding its own, but not growing. I had it outside for the summer in mostly shade. It's alive and appears fine, but just not growing. Any thoughts? Can seedlings stall this long?

That really is a cute little beggar.
Good growing.

My Phrag seedlings seemed to do nothing for months(i repotted them into s/h as soon as i got them) , about 2 months ago they went into my growroom & they looked terrible.Leaves seemed to be slightly bleached & the tip of the leaves turned brown/black.
Less feed & less light i thought but after a couple of weeks no improvement.Dropped the seedlings out of the s/h pots & was surprised to see the roots had just started to grow.Repotted them about 1" lower in the s/h & they took off like a whippet with it,s ass on fire.1 is now in full spike(Phrag ST Ouen) & it,s only about 12" LS.The roots have grown into the res & the plants look a hell of a lot healthier.
