The Brassokeria Rosyleen which I had picked up last Winter, is opening a cute spike right now. Happy!!


Edited:
I learned that my plant is most likely Brassokeria Mayan Spirit

There is a discrepancy in the way that tag was written, so I posted it on OSF in the hope the originator of the hybrid might nail the id.

My 'Emerald Isle' has popped again, this time with four huge, fragrant flowers. There is still another stem with a large sheath, so it should be in flower in a week or two. The Copper Queen is still looking good and the flowers have turned their usual yellow, away from the copper/bronze. The three buds are still healthy looking but nothing happening there. My Phal. equestris are still all in bloom and producing more stems and buds. They have been in bloom for a month now. My Eurychone rothschildiana is now just starting to open its buds. There are three "fat" buds.

Beautiful flower, Ursula. Good growing!

Jim

Thank you Jim!!

Ken, come one! We want pictures too!!!

Lovely flowers there, URsula. Hey Ken, whassa matter, is your camera broken? Let's see those gorgeous blooms!

We actually had about 20min. of good rain this morning. So thankful that the rain barrels are topped up now. Naples, just to the south of us got 4in. in an hour just a while ago. That's really pouring!

I had already posted the Copper Queen, Sunlight, and 'Emerald Isle' and I thought I did the same with the Eurychone. I did not want to repeat what has already been seen.

The second reason is that I just came in a little while ago (for lunch) from boxing and shipping plants. Five fiddle leaf ficus, four (mounted) staghorn ferns, and eleven orchid plants went out today. I have more to ship out tomorrow (I generally only ship Monday and Tuesday) but not nearly so many.

P. S. I just had a nice lady post her experiences with my (tiny) business and am very appreciative of her comments.

I think any post is better with a picture, even if it is a repeat.

I don't mind repeats, either! I don't have the best memory so I'd probably think they were new anyway.

OK, guys. I will take some pictures. Don't blame me if they bore you.

Here is the thing, Ken, many times our pictures are updates on a blooming plant.
I might take pictures when the buds open, only to realize 3 days later that this particular plant put on much nicer display than my first shot showed. A good example is the Adisak Blue from this morning.
So the pictures aren't really the same every time.

I know, Ursula. I neither want to be a hog about posting pictures nor bore people with the same ole, same ole. You all have so many more blooming plants than I, and such varied ones compared to me, that I often feel like a newbie!

I, for one, am NEVER bored by seeing pictures of these beauties! Bring 'em on!!!

Ursula, that Vanda is gorgeous! I'm drooling!

I have some plumeria to deal with.......

Love the pictures Ken. Don't tell me you are into frangipani too!

Glen, you simply MUST take a look at my website, www.tropicalplantsandmore.com. You'll then be introduced to my world.

The light is too bright on some since the pictures were taken at 8:00 AM, and some of the pictures are not in great focus (I didn't have my glasses on ), but here's some of what I am seeing now.


'Emerald Isle' and Copper Queen (flowers two weeks old and buds)


Eurychone rothschildiana


Phal. equestris with color variations


V. Sunlight Orange with mass of roots in Spanish moss

Ken!! Promising spike on the Sunlight Orange! Cute Phals!

Those Sunlight Orange buds look like little (bathtub) ducks.

Yes they do. Nice pictures, Ken.

Newly open for me this morning is Lc. Renate looking much more red than she has in the past. Third spike of B. nodosa 'Big Jim' opens fully, perfume tonight.

The Renate is lovely! Nice shading and pretty shape!
