Giveaway Orchid Seedlings Bulbo plumatum, Sarcochilus ceciliae, and Sedirea Japonica

[RSS]

All of these were deflasked earlier this year and have been hardening up for a while now in intermediate temps. Many have started new growth. These are very young plants and could take YEARS to flower, so keep that in mind.

All you need to do is post up a photo of something HUGE! The winner will be picked by my 14 year old son.

2. Chibae-Also really wants that sarc but isn't too picky as the others are nice too. And anyone who has seen the pics of my Phrag Devils fire knows that I'm no stranger to waiting years for a de-flasked seedling to bloom.

I think the Japanese spider crab gets bigger

Indeed it does, but only in the ocean.

On land, the Coconut Crab reigns supreme!

Never seen the coconut crabs in person. Would like to ... they're cool looking critters!

I saw a few while in Guam, they are creepy in the dark of night when you don't expect them to be there!
