We came from here
The thread "Our Orchid blooms in February 2012" in Orchids forum

Let me get the month started with a single bloom of my Jumellea comorensis. The plant hasn't stopped blooming all Winter....The pretty blooms are lightly fragrant.

Happy March!

This Phalaenopsis which we got as a gift last Christmas has been opening her buds gradually, and still in bloom.

I'll toss my hat into the ring with Dendrobium spectabile. It is hard to take a good picture of it due to its continuing bad hair day. I blame the humidity.

Jim

Wow! What an interestingly designed lip she has!

By the way, March 2 - 4 is the Tampa Bay Orchid Society show and sale at the Egypt Shrine Center. I have applied fire retardant to my buying shoes and will be at the door when they open at 10 AM. I'll be looking for Den. smilliae among others.

Jim

Funny, Jim!!
I keep my fingers crossed for you regarding the Den smilliae
Dendrobium spectabile has the greatest twisted blooms, nice character.

That is a gorgeous looking Phal, Tarev!

Nice ones guys!
Jim , did you need to get a permit for the fire retardant process on your shoes?

No, and I hope the Orchid Police don't find out.

Jim

Just adding in here again a photo of my new Dendrobium smilliae, this time a full plant view..I hope you get this one too Jim at the show you are going to! I just had to close my eyes at the cost..it is one good looking orchid indeed

Nice, Tarev and Ursula!
Jim, your Den spectabile is fabulous!!!

Have fun Jim and don't do anything I wouldn't do!!

Well, I guess that leaves the door open...and the windows.

Jim

Open Windows? I have a Bulbo echinolabium blooming right now, but it was tough to get to it for a picture today....
But I did get some pictures of my Pleurothallis dilemma. I took it off the mount a month ago, there was too much tightly packed Sphagnum around the roots. So far so good.
I like the little bows -


And the little Pleurothallis brighamii has a couple of "Flies" open today.


We picked up the Leptotes "large orange" ( not a clonal name) the other day from J&L


Lc Rojo is working on 4 spikes this year.


Oberonia toppingii is slowly coming along


And Slc Little Hazel 'Red Jewel' is still looking pretty.

You always have such interesting ones, Ursula.

Love that twisty Den. Jim!!!
My newest open is this Ctna. Capri 'Lea' x Blc. Waianae Leopard 'Bette'. I haven't seen this one flower before and i don't mind it

Rlc. Kat E-Sun is opening another few buds.
and the paphs are neally finished.

Thanks Carol. The good thing is that many of the "interesting because different" ones are in many cases nicely small plants.

Bree, interesting color on the Ctna X. and that is a very nice Paph group!

Just found out that Ctna x is called Rhyntonleya Rosellas little loepard and my mate has 2 flowers from the same batch but flowers a little different.
heres Roys 2 (i hope he doesn mind me using his photos to show you)...
and mine
which do you like?

Bree, I like the two end photos better than the middle one. The color is a little nicer. I also like you Kat E-Sun and of course your Paphs.

Ursula, the orange Leptotes was a great find. I love it. I also like the Lc. Rojo. Very nice.

I'm just back from the orchid show and sale so I'll post over on the other thread.

Jim

Bree, I prefer yours! The colors in the other two appear "broken", while your's looks like it was meant to be that color and pattern. Also, it is less common.
