Well, yes I'd say 'Aloha Spirit' has a lot of aloha and a lot of spirit. Not to mention floof out the wazoo on top of all that color!

I love the Green Heart 'Amy' too, and then the little Epi is right up my alley although with the scale I deal with, it would never survive.

I'm quite fond of the of the Epi hybrid in spite of the critters. Nice flower!

Ursula,
That Potinara could have it's own Vegas show !
My digbyana is just about to open. First time bloomer for me and I'm very excited about it.

Fun stuff!

Uh, who's Klaus?

Klaus is Ursula's 'better half'.

Ah, ha. Got it. Thanks for the information, Elaine.

Oh yes, and he is certainly part of this Orchid growing team.

I have a couple of little ones open today, Den Andree Millar, a first bloom for me on a plant I've had for 3 years . .. and one of the Noid Dens I bought in Apopka has a pretty flower and several nice buds coming along.

Cute!

What a nice flower on your Dendrobium and to think they are selling them, in bloom, for four dollars a throw.

1st of two spikes open Rhyncholaelia digbyana, lots of fragrance !

How lovely is that!!

I just love "fuzzy" orchids. I wish I had some of them in bloom.

Thanks Ursula !
Ken I like fuzzy blooms too...and ones with freckles too !

I have more of the "freckled" ones than the "fuzzy" ones. I have one with the name 'Hair Pig'. Can you believe someone would hang a title like that on a plant?

Bc. Golf Green 'Hair Pig'

A classic digbyana! Great way to start the day. Good growing, M.J.

I just had to look up the 'Hair Pig' and found another variety with pink on the edge of the lip called 'Pig Hair'. This from OrchidWiz:
Rlc. Golf Green (C. Moscombe x Rl. digbyana). Varieties include both 'Hair Pig and 'Pig Hair'

Such "odd" names. Someone must have had a tough night when those names were chosen, Jim.

Just curious. Does anyone here grow cymbidiums? I can't recall seeing any in the discussions. I'm building a bed of them but whatever I find and buy is unlabeled. One is VERY fragrant and does have a name: Cymbidium Maureen Carter and I have Everglades but then there are others without any names. It seems like terrestrials don't get the same respect as epiphytes. Yesterday I picked up three different ones at a farmer's market and again, no names. Let me take a chance and ask here if anyone recognizes these. I'm not sure if the white ones are identical.
Hmmm, it says uploading, uploading and then nothing.
