Elaine, I wonder why your Little Stars is blooming so much later than mine? Mine is already finished for the year. Nice Spathoglottis. I should go out under the oak and look for mine.

Congrats, Lindsey, nice Copper Queen!

There are some new bloomers out in the OC. First up is Cattlianthe [Ctt.] Haleahi Serenity (C. Valentine (1900) x Gur. bowringiana)


Next is one I love, Rlc. Thompsonii (Rlc. Digbyano-Purpurata x C. gaskelliana)


What do you know, another Vanda blooming for me! V. Pedro Bonetti (V. Doctor Anek x V. Fuchs Gold). It used to be an ascocenda.


This next one is a small Epi. ciliare.


A popular spider orchid, Brs. Memoria Fritz Boedeker 'Witch Doctor' (Brs. arcuigera x Brs. Rex).



Epicatanthe [Ett.] Volcano Trick 'Fireball' (Ctt. Trick or Treat x Epi. stamfordianum) just opening.


Finally, Bulb. Sunshine Queen (Bulb. mastersianum x Bulb. corolliferum).

Pretty show, Jim! I am sucker for blue Catts! The Ctt is a beauty!

I'm smitten with Epicatanthe [Ett.] Volcano Trick 'Fireball' ...LOVE those HOT HOT HOT colors!

I liked all of them! I thought I had Epi. ciliare, but I can't find it.
Lindsey, Love that 'copper Queen'. It's on my wish list.

Lindsey, did I get my Copper Queen from you?

i think you did , Ken...it was my favorite!

I think so too, Lindsey. Were you involved in ATP when I posted the pictures of the "yellow" version?

And I now own the one that had the yellow flowers at Ken's house. It has reverted back to making the normal peachy copper blooms, though.

So who knows, in a few years if I divide my Copper Queen and give a piece of it to Lindsey that plant will come full circle!

How about that. Lindsey will get a grandchild of her plant.

that would be crazy!!! Mine always opened up peachy then turned bright yellow.
I got another plant from my wish list today..

Lc. Tropical Pointer 'Cheetah' BM/JOGA
and..not on my wish list but an Impulse buy that I could NOT walk by!

Nice ones, Lindsey! The 'Cheetah' blooms last seemingly forever. I have to check when I posted mine, but the same spike is still in bloom.

My monster Ornithophora radicans starts opening. The plant to the right is C. Chocolate Drop 'Kodama' opening the first of 5 spikes this year.

'Kodama' , a couple of preliminary pics

And Bc Binosa 'Tetraploid' opens the second spike, two more to go.

Wow, wonderful blooms all but especially a generous spike of Chocolate Drop there. Lookit all those flowers!!

Elaine, I am happy the 'Kodama' quit sulking!
A few years ago I divided my plant which had totally climbed out of its original pot, and had three foot! long roots. I split the plant but had to damage some of those roots. Finally I see again a bunch of new growths and the roots start growing again too. The plant is btw bare root anchored in a home-made wire contraption to be able to hang it up.

Mine is sulking, too after a hard time this summer. I do think that a mount or basket will help it to recover so that is my next re-potting project. Hoping the new fert and watering regime will give it a boost, too. Others are already showing promise.

I would like a picture of Ursula or Klaus..carrying that MONSTER Ornithophora radicans ...in or out of the house...

Will do!

This should be good. I can't wait to see the picture.

Beautiful show, Ursula. Your orchids look extremely happy and healthy. Good growing.

During my browsing today at the Orchid Expo, I came across a vendor who had a Dendrobium just like one of my NOIDs. I'm thinking about adopting the name so I can enter mine in shows. The first pic is the file pic from OrchidWiz for Dendrobium Sonia. The second pic is my NOID. What do you think? Close enough?


Jim

I do remember seeing that picture, but can't remember if on here or Cubits.

Looks like it, I would think!
