Often it's from ancient seabeds, right? Like almost fossilized?

Yes, there are people here who make a living selling hucks in the summer, morels in the spring, and firewood in the fall and winter! Though there are fewer these days, as cost of living has skyrocketed.

Thank you for linking this, I have looked at some of Dustin's stuff and I am totally a fan. 😍

That is excellent to know, thank you!

Does anyone know if these are popping up yet anywhere besides in-person show sales? I would love a cross, or honestly even just a straight Yelva Myhre, which I may get from Ecuagenera here soon if I can't find one another way. Thanks!

Little update, a few weeks ago I switched it to a slotted pot that I nested in a decorative pot with water in the bottom of it (not touching the roots) to give the root system localized high humidity. This is something I have seen others on this forum do for their multiflorals, with net pots. I...

A few more "in situ" pics from family members of really good bushes (this time of year is a continuous texting conversation along the lines of "look what we found!"). On some bushes, the huckleberries tend to be under leaves, so in the first picture the branch is actually being bent backward to...

I'm sure they are closely related! The only difference that is very noticeable to me is taste.

I remember going on a hike in February, walking over snow drifts and looking down and seeing GREEN huckleberry bushes poking out from the snow and being horribly confused 😂 They usually turn red/yellow here if they get cold enough, but those apparently held on. Neat that you gave it a try at...

Huckleberries are more tart and tend to be more purple than blueberries, though there are many types and they vary in color from nearly red to dark blue. They grow wild in the mountainous regions of the Pacific Northwest and cannot be cultivated, despite many attempts. Confusing things further...

I just realized I have a very similar soup container as a pot for one of my baby phrags 😂😂😂😂 Or maybe mine was a container of store bought potato salad! Deli food is a good source of containers lol

Delightful!

We had a good haul, and found a little meadow in the woods with absolutely massive berries. The cold spring this year made the berries come slower, but now that they are ripening they are good!!

Looks like a possible sheath to me! Does the white flower have delenatii heritage?

Those are some nice roots! It's encouraging to see good growth and blooms in conditions likely similar to mine (Montana/Idaho indoors under lights). I love blooms, but I think my favorite part of orchids is watching them grow and get beefy, and the satisfaction of a well-grown plant. The blooms...

Haha, I wish my humidity was that high. RH is currently 42% next to said plant. Though, I can move it to another spot that is consistent 50-80% and runs a little cooler. Maybe I should do that. I do use your probiotics on my plants, but I don't think this one has had a dose since I repotted it...

That is exactly what I did before the new growths appeared! I've had a bag over it much of the time, but it keeps trying to grow mold on the moss if I leave it for too long so I have to take it off periodically. Any thoughts about how to prevent that? It makes sense not to fertilize.

Thank you! You're right, I could just spritz it. That's an idea! Lol. Thanks for the fertilizer amounts. I've been using K lite twice a month (one of those times with Kelpak root stimulant and a probiotic) and Epsom salts once a month at one tablespoon/gallon. I flush in between with RO water.

Yes this is about my rootless almost dead phrag Acker's Fu Manchu (my fault) that is coming back to life by pushing not one, not two, but three growths- and I know I should just stop looking at it. 😂 However! I was considering focusing more on foliar feeding being that it has no roots. I feel...

I have actually tried this with one phrag. Due to my conditions the top dries out very quickly and it just didn't feel optimal for the plant. Root growth was excellent though as I flushed daily to keep the top moist
