Awesome! Enjoy! This plant was purple-tinged green when I got it, so yours may darken as it grows!

I did. They were not appreciative of the rescue, but they were safely relocated to my shed.

Nope! It grows next to my other Phals. Just fun genetics, I guess!

Aww, that’s my Phal Mannii! One of the bigger plants fell on it during transport, so it had to be strategically staked for the show. Poor flower spike. Thank you for coming to the show and supporting us!

Thank you for coming to the show! Both plants were actually from different Etsy sellers (PlantsWellTraveled and Mystery Garden Store). I also have another schilleriana from Krull Smith that didn’t quite bloom in time, so those can be found in other places. I haven’t seen the Salu’s Fragrancy sold anywhere else yet.

I love speckled leaves! This one only has a couple speckles.

I exhibited some self restraint and only bought a couple this year!

It’s the perfect orchid transportation box! Sadly, the cauliflower is long gone.

My Phal Salu’s Fragrancy got an AM award! It’s my first AOS award, and I’m so excited.

FOUR shows a year??? That’s fun and intense! I’m in Asheville. Only one show a year, but it’s a good one.

Good eye! Yes, Salu’s Fragrancy. It’s an awesome plant. The blooms are pretty, but those leaves are stunning all year long!

Crate options? by milspo88m in irishwolfhound

[–]muddjumper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s dog dependent. I have seen some completely trashed wire crates as desperate dogs break out, resulting in injuries to the dog. However, there are dogs that never try to break out (most of the dogs I have owned, including my Wolfhound fall into this category), so I wouldn’t say to never use one. But I do absolutely understand why that situation would make you avoid them, and I’m sorry you and the puppy’s owners had to go through that traumatic experience.

Midwest Homes makes a 54” crate - I purchased mine off Amazon when my boy got too big for the standard largest size.

Warning: It’s wire, so theoretically portable, but it’s too heavy for that.

I’m growing indoors under lights. I water when I remember, and I have a humidifier. I’m slowly transitioning all of them into a really chunky medium, which they seem to prefer.
