I got my species plants on Friday 3/28/08. On arrival day the plant looked like the following.
First hint of what I had to work with!

All unwrapped and ready to place under my cheapie shop lights for the time being until I get time to repot.

Okay - last Sunday I made the repot move. Unpotted my initial impression of this plant at this point can be summed up in one word (right or wrong) - FRAGILE.

Here is the same plant now put in coir mix. The outline of two of the leaves are just a touch yellow and make me a little nervous. I have all my fingers and toes crossed and am now waiting for warmer weather to kick in and give this baby a growing boost (today's cool snow, sleet, hail, rain, etc. was unbelievable - isn't this spring?).
