Finnigan, the Fdk!
My Fredclarkeara After Dark from Jay arrived today! I sent him a piece of my Ctsm callosum and he sent me the Fdk.

I am so excited to have my little Finnigan, he is small and cute. He does have a couple of nice roots growing and a new growth starting. I potted him up and put him with the others, Ctsm callosum and Ctsm pileatum 'Oro Verde' x 'Imperiale'

Thursday I will be getting my others from Fred Clarke:

Cycnoches warscewiczii
Mormodia Lime Tiger
Mormodia Painted Desert x Mormodes lawrenceana #1
Catasetum tenebrosum x Catasetum Donna Wise (in spike!)

Here are some pics of Finnigan!
Pics 1-3 Finnigan
pic 4 Ctsm callosum
pic 5 Ctsm pileatum 'Oro Verde' x 'Imperiale'
pic 6 Jay's Ctsm callosum

Ok, here is an update on Finnigan! I have had him for a week and the new growth is getting bigger!!

I am amazed at how fast these grow!

They're so cool, aren't they? Frick and Frack are still doing well, too. This is a great project! Some our other ones have really been slow. (different project plants, that is. As orchids will do!) Finnegan looks great!
