Mystery orchid arrived and to whom do I

[abax]

give thanks? The Phrag. Geigelstein (reticulatum x besseae var flavum) came from Alex Challis of Ann Arbor,
MI. However, I do not know who this generous man is!
The lovely plant is in bloom, although a bit roughed up by
USPS naturally. The second bloom should be wonderful.
I suspect maybe Eric is behind this unexpected gift?????

Oh, is this a standing in water Phrag. or a water often,
but not in standing water? I'm not familiar with riticulatum
culture. The besseae part I know well. :rollhappy:

Lol...

 

[abax]

O.k. Troy, I hear you laughing. Who????

 

[troy]

I just think thats pretty cool of somebody or a shipping address got switched in the system... don't know how or where your new aqusition birthed from

 

[NYEric]

Yes, it's from me. The blooms should be similar to the photo I emailed you, but more twisty if boisserianum v. reticulatum was used.

That's really nice of you Eric.:clap: Angela really does love her Phrags!:smitten:

 

[NYEric]

Hopefully it survives the journey and she will post a photo when it blooms.

 

[Ozpaph]

Lovely gesture!

Eric, it's surviving well despite USPS desire to drop kick all
packages for fun. The poor abused bloom looks very much
like the photo. Thank you, dear.

I'll divide the EA Sunday, wrap the roots in sphag. and
send it out Monday. You win a toaster if you bloom it
before I do! If the timing is inconvenient for you, let me
know.

Oh crap, PM me your mailing address! I thought I had
it, but I don't.

Very nice Eric! You never cease to amaze me with your generosity. :clap:
