You have a huge collection. Very nice. I like ventricosa x northiana.

Mass-Those are mini maxima seedlings.

Des and Eric-Thank you very much!

 

[Wire Man]

The Dendrobium is tiny!!!

 

[dionae]

Yes, it is.

 

[Wire Man]

The flowers look nice, though. I'm rather fond of the miniatures, too. How long are the leaves on that thing?

 

[dionae]

Theyre somewhere around an inch long. Very tiny.

WM, do you have any clue what kind of sphag this is?

 

[corky]

very nice collection,i will be interested in the sphag as mine looks the same,

 

[Wire Man]

Hm, it's hard to tell without seeing a size comparison. Could be S. molle. It looks a lot like S. russowii or quinquefarium. I'm willing to bet that it's S. russowii. You'll need a microscope to tell for sure. Very nice! Where did you get it?

 

[dionae]

It came with a nepenthes I received in a trade. Its always green and purple. I have some in low light and high light and its the same color. Do you know of a site that I could compare pics?

 

[Wire Man]

There is some native to Australia. It's typically a more arctic species, which is weird that it came with a Nep.

Here's an in situ photo.

Ill get some better pics up in the morning. Thanks WM!

 

[Wire Man]

No problem. I'm really intrigued by this one, and I really need to take a course on Sphag ID and get a microscope. I definitely want to trade for some of this moss.

 

[dionae]

Will probably be a lil while. I dont have much more than whats pictured and thats not a pot full of it but some lfs with a lil on top.

Finally got a flower on my maxillaria. Smells great. Just like coconuts. Also had some germination of a few nep species.

Maxillaria tenuifolia

N. rajah

N. truncata

N. maxima(mini maxima/dwarf maxima/lake poso)

 

[mikefallen13]

Wow! Good luck with the rajahs!!

 

[Peatmoss]

Who did you kill to get rajah seeds?

 

[mato]

rajah seeds? Wow.. if that turns out to be true, you've got a goldmine.

 

[dionae]

Good luck with the rajahs!

Thank you Mike!

Who did you kill to get rajah seeds?

A friend just sent them to me out of the blue.

if that turns out to be true, you've got a goldmine

I'm confident theyre legit but only time will tell. Cross your fingers for me.
