The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Couple more, and better pictures of David Sander - see how the second big fat bud is shouldering up to the first?

Second flower is open this morning, still crowding the first, but who's complaining?

David Sander is still my favorite. Nice growing, Elaine. I wonder if the one I sent to Kathy is blooming?

Lookie, lookie what's blooming again in the cage - Embreea rodigasiana. And there is one more spike getting fatter. ( another 2. spike will probably abort)
What a neat bloom, I love it!

It must be closely related to Stanhopeas. Beautiful bloom. Fragrant?

It is related, Jim. Not too much scent, not at all like the scent of the Stanhopeas I know.

Attending the twin's Dance recital yesterday, spending time on the NJ shore and now I am looking at pictures…I was editing 107 dance pictures and I managed to keep 25 somewhat sharp pictures of the girls on stage.
Thumb of 2014-06-29/Ursula/1947c0

And now back to Orchids - I really like the Dendrobium bensoniae, now fully open. It smells strongly of Vanilla, especially in sunshine, I like it a lot. The plant has been adding blooming canes every year and it is one Dendrobium which flowers really nice for me, despite watering it year around and not listening to advice to give it a dry rest.

And a second bloom is now open on the diminutive Schomburgkia albopurpurea
Thumb of 2014-06-29/Ursula/146f91

Blc Dennis Kone normally blooms in the Fall for me, but I am not complaining
Thumb of 2014-06-29/Ursula/6c15c4

And I thought the Dendrobium aggregatum was done blooming for the season - surprise spike

Wow, Ursula, another great show starting off with a couple of real cuties. That's a very nice picture.

Both Dendrobiums are really pretty. Well done. Diminuitive or not, that is a nice Schomburgkia and the Blc looks like it is made of wax. Good growing.
