So far Summer has been very nice to the Orchids and I love the temperatures right now, very comfortable.

Kathy, here is my Pleurothallis grobyi from most recently in May 2013, no stripes and very different/ a lot more plain.

That is too kool

Ursula, if you like this striped guy, Black Jungle had more....

What is this prediction for 47 degrees tonight????????? I've moved a few warm growers with spikes inside. But then, I know the cool guys will be dancing the happy dance. It's been over-the-top hot most of the summer.

Thanks Kathy, I will keep it in mind.

That is chilly for this time of year, we are supposed to go down to 55 degr F tonight, not exactly a heat wave either. Breezy and relatively cool here to today, it was perfect to take Jake to the playground this morning.

Spectacular plant, Ursula!

Jim, I sent you a treemail, sorry I wasn't on the computer last night or today but thanks SO MUCH for getting the plant for me.

Thanks Susan! It is now outside for the Summer, this Pleurothallis usually does ok in the cage.

Hopefully we see more of Robert's blooming Orchids....
The thread "Blooms August" in Orchids forum

Another David Jr. is on his way to Susan's house.

By all means, please post your August blooms here, Robert, so we can all see them.

Well, I just repotted my new orchids form Larry. I used three thimbles and a shot glass and still may have over potted.

Some activity out in the OC. First up is Bllra. Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' AM/AOS as it opens its first bloom on one of two long spikes. The flowers are huge.


Lc. Loog Tone X Lc. Hwa Yuan Glory. Last year the blooms looked like triangles which is why I bought it.


Phal. Mancervi is blooming again.


Beautiful blooms on Wilsonara Pacific Perspective 'Pacific Heat'.


Aliceara Sunday's Best X Oda bictoniense continues to bloom. This is going to be a very productive orchid for me.


Finally, Miltassia Luke Skywalker.


Jim

Jim, I like your repotting description!
Very nice 'Stuff"!
The form on the Lc. Loog Tone X Lc. Hwa Yuan Glory is certainly striking in a way. Triangles you say! Neat color distribution.

Yes, triangles. Heere is a picture of a bloom from last year.

Jim

I agree, that is neat!

Nice show Jim.

Couldn't resist another shot of my Neo. Just blooming it's mind out. I love it. On one end of the garden area on the side of the house is Max. tenuifolia on the other end is Brug. Charles Grimaldi, with Neofinetia falcata in the middle The area is long and narrow. The scents are amazing as they are all in bloom

Ted, your Neo is gorgeous!! I love it. And yes, the scent gotta be gorgeous! I take a Neo sometimes inside in the evening to sniff....

Caulocattleya Paul Vondersaar is now fully open


Pleurothallis allenii with a flush of cute blooms


Mediocalcar decoratum/aka Candycorn


Dendrobium bigibbum var compactum always looks a little unruly


My mounted Neofinetia falcata keeps on blooming


Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' x Vanda amesiana starts blooming from a keiki


And Vanda ( Papilionanthe) teres x Neofinetia falcata starts opening a spike


and future Orchidiots/ granddaughters Kammi and Anna are into the Bracelet business with their rainbow loom, a crochet hook and pretty beads. Fun day today!

That Neo is a beautiful plant, Ted. Good growing.

Another nice show, Ursula, especially those two beauties at the end. I love the color on the Paul Vondersaar. Nice flower on the Papilionanthe teres X Neo.

Jim

Beauties from all three of you!
