Thanks, Jim! Both my Den nobile and Nestor have buds, I looks forwards to see them in bloom.
I think I might gloat too, if we had such nice weather! We might get some more snow tomorrow although only a couple of inches are predicted.❄️But it is supposed to warm up next week!

Come see my New Hampshire Orchid Society Show pics from today.

Kathy, beautiful pictures!! Must have been a fun show! I love the Neostylis pinky. Nice loot too! 👠

Thanks Ursula! Where did that shoe come from?

The buying shoe? I added smilies to the keyboard on my new IPad! What fun!!

I googled it a couple of days ago and came across this one:

Out in the OC, I found the following new blooms:

Bct. Jack Sloniker.


Lc. Gold Digger


Blc. Chinese Beauty 'Orchid Queen' AM/AOS from my last trip to Apopka.


Jim

I got a few pictures this morning too
Zygo. Redvale 'fire kiss' , Slc.Hsin Bun lady"YT', and Love Passion 'Dogashima'


Oncidium splendidium was blooming along the glass

How pretty, Carol and Jim!
Carol, I love the color on your Love Passion 'Dogashima'!

Charming Gold Digger, Jim!

Kathy, the red shoe is in the smily face section, scroll from there 5 pages forward.

Ah, I see the icons don't show on the PC. My Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' is also in bloom. So hard to capture the color!

Kathy, I had to change the exposure to get that color right.

Woo, some lovely flowers up there, folks. Carol I love the 'Dogashima' and Fire Kiss, too. I'm just a fool for those bright colors.

Tell me, are the leaves on that Onc always that red? It's really pretty, but if one of mine was that red I'd be out there with epsom salts.

I posted before and I see it never made it.

Carol, great color on your Love Passion 'Dogashima' and I like the Slc. Hsin Bun Lady too.

I have been working out in the OC all day putting up a new shelf on the other side of the pool under the Vandas. I an going to call it Cattleya row as I filled it full of Cattleys alliance stuff. Here is how it looks:


I still have lots of repotting to do.

Jim

Yes, they need close to full sun to bloom. It's one of the "mule ear" type and is more like a succulent with thick, ridged leaves. A novelty, for sure.

one word WOW

Beautiful, Jim! What I would give to have that!

Oh my Jim!! That is just beautiful! It must be lovely to go for a swim in there! The Cattleya row looks great there!

Great job, Jim. I love it (naturally, I am a cattleya alliance fan!).

Jim, I would fall in your pool so much it would stop being funny. Love what you've done with it, though!
