Kathy and Lin, nice looking splash petals!

Kathy: Love them all ... and I'm such a novice I would have thought that 'Green Genie' was the same as mine! I really, really, really love that Blc. Solar Flare 'Paradise'! I think I have a Blc. Solar Flare something or other (will have to check tags tomorrow) it's not 'Paradise' though and I'm loving the yellow in that one!

Aha ... I thought that one in your first photo looked familiar, I have Encylevola Surprise from Marble Branch too. Can't remember if I already shared a photo or not but if this is a duplicate, please forgive me. The one bloom remaining is just about spent, this photo is from a couple of weeks ago:

Thanks Ursula! I don't get blooms very often but I sure love it when a bloom does show it's face!

Can't wait till I have some blooms of my own to share...soon I hope!

Lin I thought it was Green Genie too but I looked up the genealogy on my OrchidWiz.

I guess, the recent deluges didn't faze Ceratostylis rubra, it is blooming this week again.


Lc Mini Purple 'Shibuya' SM/JOGA smells nice, especially in sunshine.


and some first, small blooms on Vascostylis Tham Yuen Hae X Broga Bluebell. Hopefully the bloom count will improve with subsequent flowerings.

Ursula: Those are all very pretty but oh my ... I adore the looks of that Ceratosytlis rubra!

My Ceratostylis rubra just grows leaves. Any tips on blooming it?
Of course I am very in love with Vascostylis Tham Yuen Hae X Broga Bluebell. Where was that from Ursula?

Thanks.
My Ceratostylis rubra gets a lot of sun, mostly in the morning right now, and I keep it very bright and sunny during the indoor season.
The Vascostylis x came from the Malaysian vendor ( bought this March at the SEPOS ) Ooi Leng Sun Orchids. I had bought a whole bunch of small plants from them that time, they were fairly cheap and I had taken some chances. I am happy this one is saying something.

Ursula,
Ceratostylis rubra is beautifully mounted as well...is that one of Andy's plants?

Lindsey, yes it is.

Moved mine into more light today! Mine is also from Andy's I think, on a big piece of cork.

Blc. George King 'serendipity' x Blc. Goldenzelle 'tokyo'. 2 flowers opened squashed together.

Beautiful Bree!

Oh so pretty Bree!

Love the ruffle!!

Uh-oh. Sposta go down to 36 F on Friday and 39 F on Saturday. Do you think the tarps will keep them warm? I might bring spikers in. The cyms will love it though.
