When i tell, you don't believe!

The potting mix is moss from my trees and garden soil and a little pine bark!

Love the Haruka with pinkish white sheaths.

Love the Haruka with pinkish white sheaths.

When the buds are shaded, the flower sheath will be white/pink in colour. That's how you know you are going to get the correct vibrant colours from these flowers. If the flower sheath has a tint of green, then that means the colours will be muddy.

BTW, all these plants are budding again (end of July beginning of August). It is amazing that it takes about 9 months from budding to blooming. I don't think I know any other orchids that require 9 months of budding before it blooms......
