Bulb. mastersianum ' Papaya Parachute' still looks good



Another bud opened on Bulb. Lindsey Paris 'Bills Gift' AM/AOS



Rlc. Memoria Crispen Rosales 'Carmela' AM/AOS



Blooming for the first time ,one of my extra plants of Rlc. Always Dream 'Volcano Queen' ,and going to a new home this afternoon .

Just amazing, Lindsey. Those big floofers are spectacular.

I have just one tiny new bloomer to start out November, Tol. Jairak Flyer 'Sporty' Shrug! I'm sure I bought it because I liked the name. I just like Tolumnias anyway. Never saw one I didn't like.

The same can be said for my Renanstylis [Rnst.] Bangkok Beauty:

All beauties, Jim but my fave is the 'Haleahi Sunbow' with the delicate shadings and that pretty spotty lip.

Things have slowed down at my house with the cooler weather this week, but will be looking for more blooms towards the weekend here. In the meantime, such a pleasure to sleep with the windows open, and the scent of B. nodosa wafting in.

What a nice welcome home show you have Jim!
Did I sell you that deckeri a year or two ago?....it is one happy camper , that's for sure!
Your parade of Vandas are always impressive and I wish I could help you with the name on your NOID...it's very pretty.
I've got a couple of new flowers to share.
Bc. Star Ruby 'Xanadu' with 4 buds that appeared out of nowhere .


The Den. Firewings that Jim gave a bunch of us for Christmas a few years ago is blooming her head off...I couldn't even get all the flowers and buds in the frame unless I backed up into the neighbors yard.





and this Myc. Victor Elliott's Suncoast started with 4 buds , but got blown off the rack on an especially breezy day , so all that survived was one.

Man, I do love that Fire Wings! Mine is just putting up new stems and will then be in flower for another few months. What a powerhouse bloomer.

I finally got out my black background to get some decent pictures of these. Tol. Jairak Flyer 'Sporty' with 4 of 6 flowers open, and the B. nodosa in it's glory, almost fully open.
