I have some ORA Miami Orchid Stag frags for trade. These are about 1" frags. Will trade for torts or other colorful acros.

OK guys, the Miami Orchid Stag changes color a lot under different lights. This is a picture I founf of it when it is colored up. Mine does not look this good right now since I have it under only 10k metal halides.

The Miami Orchid looks more like this under less intense lights. ORA got it from me a few years ago. They gave it that name since I lived in Miami at the time.
The purple is more a bluer purple rather than red/pink purple. They grow it under natural sun so it tends to get red/pink. You can get this also with intense MH 10ks.

This is a picture I took today of the monther colony from where the Miami Orchid originated from. Have not seen anyone with a colony this big yet, but I'm sure their out there by now.

It has been fragged many times (8-10 years now), as a matter of fact this one is no longer the largest colony that I have. The largest colony which was fragged from this one has out grown it now (grown under VHO only). It too has been fragged many times.
