    I am posting early but can not help it. I am excited to see this one blooming. Also, it feels like it is taking forever to open. Here is my Michael Koopowitz (philippinense 'Super Long Twister' x sanderianum '90+') from Orchid Inn. I will take better picture once all the buds open.

    That’s a pretty good combination. First bloom seedling?

    Thanks. Yes, it is a first bloom seedling. I see 5 buds in all but the fifth bud is questionable. I am not sure it will mature.

    Nice. Are sanderianum and its crosses staked perpendicular? Seems like doing them at an angle could facilitate the dangl.?

    Definitely angled for sanderianum. It's crosses can vary with stalking depending on orientation of the flowers. Some create a more shingled effect that others.

    I have seen Michael Koopowitz staked different ways. I was just I remembered to stalk it at all.
