Update: Down to one leaf but pushing a growth by sacrificing all that leaf energy. Maybe there's hope??!

Excellent photography!

The 18th seems like a good guess! I'll say 20th.

This was a satisfying read, watching it come back from almost death over the last few months. I'm invested now!

We've had a long, cold spring with some snow in June this year! I'm surprised they've bloomed at all! Technically I took these pictures the last day or so of June. I'm glad they have the potential to be bigger! Poor stunted things haha

Sold at my local nursery this spring in the cold-hardy bulb section as "Chinese Ground Orchid." Tinier than I expected at only 5 or 6 inches tall! Glad I caught the bloom as they are planted at our house which we don't get to often (it's rented out while we travel). Happy it bloomed despite the...

Sounds like a really neat setup! Pictures??

Welcome from Montana, USA! I had a Czech exchange student friend in high school and would love to visit them in your beautiful country someday!

People are going to ask her if she played basketball in school. 🤣 Lovely bloom and plant!

Wow, look at those roots! Your method is obviously working for you.

Thank you! Good info. I mean, even if I'm a little bummed that's why I came here to ask!

I would normally agree without doubt, but it's supposed to be blooming size and others in the batch have already bloomed. See example pic provided by grower (found here): It does appear wildly small, but I will say it has a ton of roots. The thing was like pure roots when I got it a few months...

I know I could just be patient, buuuuut Does this look like the beginning of a sheath to you on this Phrag Eric Young? 👀 The shorter leaf just prior with the quick emergence of another, very centered "leaf" has me wondering! Is it okay if it's spiking as a single growth? Would I expect new...

Hello! Here's how I do it on a phone. A computer may be different. Ignore the ads popping up on some of my screenshots. "Attach files" button at the bottom of the text box, which you are aware of: Once you choose your photo, wait for it to load all the way. The photo is now fully loaded and...

Congratulations!

How interesting!! And thank you!

@big923cattleya Good thing I repotted! Not the worst root system I've ever seen, but not the greatest either, and quite a few dead ones. I didn't want to overpot, but I also saw the beginning of a couple new growths and wanted them to have at least a little room. Also, with the shorter root...

I agree, thank you! I usually do this, because I learned the hard way with my first couple of online purchases that often things are shipped on the edge of rotting to death. I want to see the roots ASAP! I just wasn't sure if the fine mix I have right now would be okay, so I wanted to post...

Pretty color for a weedy orchid!

That's good to know, because I have a ton of that. Thank you!
