OOPs! Sorry Fred!

Everyone has great plants in bloom. I have struggled a bit with mealies this summer, but have the affected plants separated from others and with Neem and alcohol methods, it seems to be pretty much eradicated. Was in Maine for 2 weeks while my son watered, but he did not check for anything like bugs. I have been away for a few days again, and am anxious to get back and see what is happening.

Welcome back Jo!!!!

The Greenville Gerberra 'Snow Ballet' with 13 flowers and another spike on the way...this is an amazing plant!
Mtdm. Goliath's Spire 'Mauna Loa' with a very long spike..the buds don't seem to be opening in any particular
order...one at the tip, one in middle and one in the lower 3rd...is this normal for these plants?

The Massachusetts Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' is in the sun inside. Hoping this will make some buds appear. That sure looks great!
Haven't had an experience like the opening of the Mtdm.

'Snow Ballet' seems to look great anywhere!

AKA "the weed"

C, Guatemalensis x Lc. trick or treat.
unknown Cymbidium that flowers each year.

Both are beautiful, Bree.

Jim

Beautiful!

OMG! I know I'm not in the Anticipation thread but big news! The Massachusetts Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' has a tiny spike! I almost fell over!

Carol rules!

Jim

Ha ha. Reminds me of a Tom Lehrer (50s satirist Harvard prof http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... ) song and another weed, "She's the old dope peddlar, spreading joy wherever she goes." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (A lot better than another of his songs "poisoning Pigeons in the Park"!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... ) Anyone know him or was this a local thing?
Thank you, thank you Carol!! You are the best! Happy Dance.

I never heard of him but then I was in Indiana at the time.

Great show Ursula, love those Darwinaras and of course the red of Lc Sagarik Wax. Lc Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' is sure to get your attention.

Fred beautiful foggy Vanda.

Lindsey, 'Snow Ballet' is spot on, a real show stopper. As far as the Miltonidium blooms, they usually start at the bottom and work their way up but I have seen some random openings.

Bree, love the pink tones in your NOID cymbidium.

I grew that other stuff at one time too....long, long ago.

Nice show, Bree! I like them both!

This is Brassia Eternal Wind 'Sato' blooming nicely today.

Jim

And a dancing lady Oncidium.
