Here's the whole plant. Not that small after all for a besseae.

And this one to show how flat it is. I measured it at 6,5 cm wide this morning. Should reach 7 or a little more.

Finally! Yes it was phal. schilleriana in the background of the first picture.
 
It looks like the plant is going to have only one flower. My first bloom plant that is currently in bud will only have one flower as well; whereas my orange besseaes carry from 8 to 12 flowers in succession. Does anyone know if the flavum variety normally carries far less flowers; or, is this just because both Shiva's and my plant are first bloom seedlings?
 
The writing on your tags is lovely and neat. Do you use a label maker?

Yes Joanne. I've been using a Brother P-Touch Pro Excel for several years. The machine was expansive but it makes great labels. I can use every type of fonts available in Word or Windows. The labels stick to the tag forever and never fade. They can even hold the plastic tags together when they break from old age. Totally easy to use and trouble free. :)
