Figured this might be enlightening for some of our newbies. HH and I were finally able to meet up at a recent orchid show and I was able to collect my prizes from two of her prior giveaway contests.

So here we have a grouping of Cephalotus in a very theatrical presentation -- perfectly in keeping with her giveaway style. :mrgreen: (Hopefully, I'll be able to keep the alive and have them flourish. [I find Ceph's challenging which is frustrating as they are my favorite cps.])

And this is a Heliamphora venamo x minor var. pilosa:

I've never tried a heli before so this will be an adventure. She has assured me it is an easy one, and hopefully it will prove to be for me ... cute bugger that it is.

Needless to say, I'm stoked!

Those are absolutely Fabulous!
If you zoom in on the Cephalotus pot, you'll see quite a few growth points. (Or maybe they're all individual plants)
Either way, that's a giveaway prize that goes way above what I'd expect to see.
