Well done - I just love any kind of mini orchid!!

I hope by the fall of this year to include many varieties of minis to my collection.

The roots on those look amazing - you are definitely doing something to the '9s'

Beautiful!

Did you get any from local sources? Just moved to SC last July so I'm looking for minis due to lack of room. Do you have favorite place to purchase?

Phals are gorgeous. But, what do you do to you Den Aggregatum to get it to flower. I have one for at least 5 years and it just keeps staying the same...no new leaves and never flowers. It hasn't flowered in 3 to 4 years. What's your secret? Thanks.

Very nice plants and blooms. You can find some good ones at Lowes many times.

beezermommy, had the same problem as you for many years. so i googled ,Den Aggregatum culter sheet. and i was doing everything wrong. first it needs al lot of bright light at all times, and in the Summer i give it a lot of early moring sun. and i give it a lot of water mine being mounted seems to dry out very fast. and feed it about every two weeks. and i also soak it in a large bucket of water i use rain water that has orchid food in it twice a month. and in the early fall i will still it good light but around september first i slack up with the water, water enough to keep the leaves from becoming limp. do not feed it until the early spring i didn't feed mine this year untill i saw my first new leaf.
the sheet said it needed to rest from fall till the early part of the year. this is what i done and mine has a lot of buds this year more than i have ever had, and new ones poping out, hope this will help you. it worked for me .Good luck Tommy
