    Default Deflasking my babies

    I decided it was time to deflask. They had consumed most of the agar and were large enough. Nine compots all together I need lots more space. Three are from flasks that were given to me (2 species, 1 hybrid) and the other 6 are my crosses.

    The species given to me are Rhyncholaelia digbyana and Cattleya skinneri v. coerulea. The cross given to me is Momilani Rainbow x Mari's Melody. My cross I won't reveal till I see what the blooms look like. One parent is...

    Crossed to another spot at one of my OS meetings. She had 2 clones of the same plant. One with great spotting and one with nice flower shape. We did a cross from each clone. She has the opposite cross. Of course looking for spots but wanting to reduce plant size a bit.

    That's what they call them. Out of flask and clustered in a pot till they're ready for their own pot. It also helps the newly deflasked with some humidity control as they adjust to the cruel outside world.
