Flask Rhyncostylis gigantea 'Cartoon'
Hi all, just arrived a flask Rhyncostylis gigantea 'Cartoon' (mericlones) and a flask of P. amabilis seedling.
The flask of Rhyncostylis gigantea 'Cartoon' upon de-flasking contained 51 plants, about 20 of them are a very nice size, the rest not too bad and I have comunity potted the smaller ones.
Now in my humicrib
Sorry no more photos as I have spent the last 2 hours on the new computer try to re-size them to under 150kb
Not having a lot of luck using photo shop elements 8

Best of luck with them.
They are a real show stopper when in flower!
Maybe 3 to 4 years of good growing should see them at flowering size

I have grown a few from 2 inch pots, but this is the first time I have tried to grow them from flasks
At least I now get the pick of the best growers!
