This beauty started slow, then took off. Neostylis "Lou Sneary" Bluebird.

At one time I had this Onc., I do apologize for not being more specific. I will do my best to complete the details next time.

Looks like one of the Twinkles. I collect lots of Neostylis, Darwinaras, and Vandofinetias. I love that I can have so many tiny vandas!

Looks like I should get more tuberolabiums. I adore the scent and it fills a room!

We seem to do well, the "Tiny Vanda's" and I, not so well with the larger ones. I'll have to search for more locally.

Neostylis Lou Sneary is always a favorite. Sweet!
Large Vandas/Ascocendas want it warm, sunny and like to be flooded daily. Good air movement is essential. Not so different from the smaller vandaceous hybrids.

I should add - better make some room for the Lou Sneary, they get to be good sized plants.... Smiling

Sedirea japanica is still going strong. Not sure if it will stay mini although it looks like it will.
Thumb of 2011-04-03/boojum/5339e2
I'm pretty sure this Onc. Lava Burst 'Puanani' will stay small. So pretty with one inch flowers!

Looking good!
Nice shots of the Oberonia toppingii. Terrific looking plant too!! I never got a really good close up this year. Those little people in the tails do look alive....
One of my Sedirea japonica plants seems to be forever in bud this year, maybe it will decide one of these days to open them. My tiny Minmaru decided to add growth, especially roots, but no buds this year. A third plant just sits there and "tries to look busy".

Kathy that little pipe cleaner is great, as are the others. Have they changed the name of Howeara Lava Burst 'Puanani' to Oncidium now?

So all the blooms fell off the Chiloschista segawae and my Stenia vasquezii today. I wondered what might be happening with my Platystele ximenae. And there was a tiny flower!!!!!!! Can you find it?
Look at the size compared to my finger. And...it has EYES!!!
