I have never been able to understand why its never bloomed. Big old roots. Certainly looks bloom size (especially after all these years). It's in light where a few other Vandacous orchids get the same light. It gets food. That one and my Maggie Oe Red Ribbon.

You can always dip the fork in Ranch dressing!! That really scares them into blooming!

Funny!

Those Ludisia albas finally opened up

Another cutie B. nodosa hybrid called Sunlight Yellow. Bought I inbox, first one opened today. My plants from Ecuagenera arrive tomorrow

Lovely! I love simple blooms like that.

This was another Lowes purchase. It was in bud with 5 blooms waiting to open.

I am almost 100% positive that I found your hybrid Gina, and it is not a Brassavola nodosa hybrid. I can not find Sunlight Yellow as being registered anywhere.
What I think that you have there is actually Bsn. Sunny Delight. The parents are Brassavola perrinii x Guarianthae aurantiaca. The Orchid Wiz program has several images which look just like your plant. The lip shape reminds me of the aurantiaca lip and apparently the perrinii has imparted floriferousness. It is a very pretty and simple flower. Sunny Delight has several awards.

I love the gorgeous leaves on the alba Ludisia discolor!

Maybe I shouldn't have added Yellow. They might have just added that to the tag as a descriptive. This is the tag

And this is a listing online for the orchid

Well you may be right. I did find Young-Min Orange.

My "hospital consolation" Whole Foods mini Phal is nearing full bloom:

Diana, nice looking plant!

I forgot to add this one - a leftover Valentine's Day "rescue" from Lowe's - not yet on the market down rack, but too cute too resist.

A left over that was not left out!!!
Great job Diana!! That poor baby needed a home. You gave her a new start and responded in kind by presenting you with some beautiful little flowers!!!
Great, great job!

Pretty!

Nice blooms there, Diana. Love the salmon color and those purple dots.

Maxillaria schunkeana!

Very unusual color, Gina. I love it. Is that a cork slab you have it on?

Yes. It's hard to get a good photo of this plant. The mount curves and it's not easy to view the other side where there are about 8 flowers
