keikis on keikis on keikis
I mounted an oncidium on a weathered old piece of Redwood 2x6, 12 inches
long. It was mostly sapwood and had been part of a 20+ year old deck I took out. I did it on a lark. Doesn't look bad. Plant is growing nicely. Sure does need to be watered often thought! "Diane Mancino" wrote in message et... I was wondering about that Gene. I didn't have any seedlings that I wanted to risk, but since I have to secure the keikis with its short roots, sounds like a winner. Don't have something to mount on but a ton of fire wood in the yard. ( I can order online of course. Has anyone ever mounted orchids on bark?, a wood slab? I can cut a slab that would be mostly bark. mount more than one to a slab? "Gene Schurg" wrote in message hlink.net... Dianne, Since you have many keikis you should try mounting a couple. I've started mounting plants on cork and really like that look. It makes a great show. Good growing, Gene "Diane Mancino" wrote in message et... Sue, Like I said, I Won!. When a member read what I had just got, he said the donor didn't know what was given up, but I know she has many plants, and she probably has more. She gave up a huge cattlea that didn't have a tag. This isn't'the first awarded win. We have some good growers here and its a small club. Anyone in the Vt/Nh area, I'd love to invite them to a meeting. Still take the keikis off? I think I'll just take a few. To save space I'll use one of those cell packs that garden annuals come in for the keikis and put them on the growing shelf Diane "Susan Erickson" wrote in message ...

I still want to see the blooms on this which was said to" bloom all the time" Tag says 1999 for potting, so you can guess the size of this plant. How long before a keiki gets to blooming size? Diane Den kingianum 'Ruth' AM/AOS A beautifully grown plant completely encircled with over 300 flowers, thirty-five spikes; dominantly deep-purple at ends of tepals, lightening in tone towards center; lip a deep uniform purple. Exhibitor was Louis A. Jaskow, Jr., Rye, N.Y Judged in Regional Supplementary Judging at NY, NY 3/20/1974 So you have an awarded plant. With quite a potential and history. A full grown keiki will be about the size of a pencil. Aren't the center mother plant canes about that size. So they can bloom and rebloom again and again. This is one line I have seen bloom very happily on old canes. Right up until they dry up and start to fall apart. Good work on the raffle table. I will let you collect my tickets for me. I don't win like that. Usually the ticket before or after mine is the one drawn. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
