Hi Ray,

Hope it works out for you!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!!

Aaaahh man that stinks, probably the stress of being packaged and then the new environment. Good Luck- stop staring at them your stressing them out :poke:

Well I just watched the remaining two buds open. I was watering and the plant was hanging right where I was standing . and it just all opened at once. This is a first for me I have never even been around Stanhopea's untill now. The fragrance is as strong as you would want it has a sweet smell. This was the King Kong. I will take pictures later I want to see if it changes it's shape any more than this. Although it looks like it's pretty much open all the way now. Ray
