    Ugh. I had three spikes last year and was really hoping for an exponential increase, but after some accidental frost bite, sun burn, and a cross-country move, it was not happy with me. Thankfully, this one loses all it's ugly leaves every year. Snapped some photos because the architecture of these is just so neat. Fingers crossed for some more bulbs next year. Also, does anyone have thomsonianus yet? Where is Mr. Breeze these days?

    I have a few of the seedlings of A thomsonianum from Mr B's selfing that I bought from Troy Meyers. I reflasked the ones I received and grew them for awhile that way. They were really tiny. I had some loses when I took them out and a bit of attrition, but they are now starting to become plants. Still small, but I have hope that in a few years I may bloom them.

    Yes, a couple of them have real pseudobulbs. I've never seen a mature plant, so I don't know how big they have to get, but I am hopeful.
