One of my friends uses the "forgot my password" option all the time for every app. She never has to worry about someone stealing her PW's because she doesn't
even know them herself. She claims it takes a minute longer but she never has to try and remember anything except her mothers maiden name.

Yes, my phone remembers all my log in info . But my phone has been doing odd stuff lately and all the apple genius' could think to do was a hard reboot so that when I get my new phone the bug wouldn't be transferred ...unfortuately, that erased all my shortcuts.

Some more Spiranthes cernua pics from last Friday at our NEPa place. This year is probably one of the best years for this little Orchid, since we started tracking them around the early nineties. This year, we are finding them even here in NJ.




The strong Anise scent is truly lovely.

And around here in Fair Lawn, finally the weather has cleared out after 4 straight days of rain. I am really glad, most of my plants had made it inside before this crummy weather arrived. Except for a couple of odds and ends and those plants which need cool weather to bloom, like Jades and Epiphyllums, all are shoe-horned into their indoor spots.
The Cattlianthe Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' opened a spike now inside. A couple of buds had bites taken out while still in the cage. But the rest of the buds made it ok.
Some shots with a rainy ceiling -



This Restrepia antennifera looked so happy, I had to take some pics again.
Along with cute blooms I see a bunch of seed pods too.


And Brassokeria Mayan Spirit opened some more

Love seeing the Spiranthes! Such a treat to see orchids in situ. And the scent of anise in the air!
Wonderful!!!

Tara, thank you! And thanks for the !

You would probably flip if you see this Spiranthes patch on a highway, which we discovered many years ago driving past it. We stop there every year around this time to check the plants. This year we estimate a couple of 1000s of blooming spikes over a ca 100 yards, right next to the highway. We never gave out the location for good reasons ! This year was incredible, just loaded with good size blooming plants. Just amazing!
I didn't take pictures this time.

Wow! 1000's Truly wonderful! And very, very good reason for not giving the location!! Good on you, keeping it on the "quiet"! 🤫 Mother Nature, I am sure, appreciates that as well!

I just love the color on your Mary Elizabeth Bohn...so rich and deep!
Yesterday there was a few minutes to look at my plants for the first time in over a week, a neighbor had watered for me while I was away. There's a bunch of plants with buds ( finally) ...seems like forever !
This cutie had opened . Bc. Mary Dodson

It sure is a cutie! Hurrah for nice neighbors!

In the meanwhile - doing the usual trek back inside for the indoor season, here are my plants in their Winter spots. More or less....

I'm sure you don't have enough plants yet, Ursula!

Where do YOU live?

Fun, right?

Wow, I could live in your setup!! It must be truly wonderful!!
