Your plants are looking really good. In the next upcoming months I may have some seed grown neps to send you. I am germinating some nep seeds and I have seedlings of Maxima 'Dark' x Spectabilis 'North Sumatra' growing.
I owe half of the resulting seedlings to the sender of the seeds, but since I am getting great results with the seeds, I'll be able to spare you some of the plantlets.

And that's why I love you!! Your the man Mike.. Thanks for the compliment.

I'm also working on germinating seeds of Thorelii x xTrusmadiensis x Isle De France and also Thorelii x xTrusmadiensis x Spatulata x Maxima.

I'll keep you posted on the progress of those. One of the Thorelii x xTrus x Spatulata x Maxima is germinating.

After seeing your pics I realize how I completely screwed up on the last seeds you sent me. I didn't know I was supposed to just set them on top of the substrate like that.. Lesson learned!

No worries. we all make mistakes. I once tried to sow nep seeds in live sphagnum, LOL. that didn't work too well.

Hey Mass, how is that Vent x Spect you got a couple months back? Mine grew quite a bit since then and it's really one of my fastest growers!

Hey, enjoy those splendiana x {(maxima x veitchii) x veitchii} I have a few and the plants are turning out great.

It's doing well.. I had to move the shelf in the grow box down a couple levels because it was starting touch the lights.

Wow thank you for taking the time to take a picture of that for me! It's just as awesome as I remembered!
