Surely!

Ursula that is so cool! I've heard they are fragrant as well. How do you grow yours? It's one my sister wants very badly and I talked her out of it at the Tamiami show this winter because it was pretty expensive and it was a tiny plant...I was under the impression that they were fussy.
That's nutty about the name...

Lindsey, this one is not difficult at all. I planted it many years ago into this tree fern ring, because that is what I had on hand. But potting them up in a net basket or similar will surely work just fine. This one gets fairly good light, but not full blast sun and I water pretty much daily. It should do fine for you. Temps are intermediate to warm under my conditions.

Nice Trichopilia, Ursula. I love the color.

This is Catt Fair Catherine 'Nice Partner'. First bloom since getting as a seedling 3 years ago from Kamamoto.

Pretty color, Bert. Good growing!

Here's my first Phal bloom for May. I moved all the orchids from the greenhouse that's in the sun to the one that's under the trees to keep them cooler. Of course with all the clouds and rain we've had since I moved them I can't tell if it's doing any good or not. This one looks to be another pink with yellow lip?

It's a lovely flower, Bert. Nice picotee edge on the lip with all that floof as a bonus. Your Phal is a beautiful color, too Chris. Good looking leaves too.

I have one sad new bloom today, and a couple of repeats, hope you'll bear with me, I really enjoy the progression of color on the (maybe) Yellow Birds. Plus we have Blc. Punakea with a deformed flower, and the Spathoglottis carrying right on with flower after flower through being re-potted. (phew!)

Very pretty flower, Chris.

Nice show, Elaine. I still have Spaths blooming too.

Jim

Nice, Elaine.. the spathagolotis you gave me is no longer blooming ...but is putting out lots of new growth...I wonder if I need to move it to a more full sun location?

Roberta, what a beautiful Cattleya! I love it! Good growing!

Pretty Spathoglottis, Elaine! Nice Yellow Birds too!

Looking good, Chris!

Bert,Chris,Ursula, Nice show
Thanx

Lindsey, my spathoglottis are just getting some early morning sun, then mostly shade for the rest of the day. They've also bloomed well for me in filtered shade under my big oak trees.

Bert, that's so exciting to see a plant bloom for the first time...and such a pretty one too! Is that one fragrant?

Which Spath. is that one, Elaine?

While Elaine looks at the Spath label -
here is the second L. purpurata in bloom. This one is v. roxo x russeliana.

What is better than a nice bloom of a digbyana x? Two blooms! The second one made it.

And there is my one and only Phal still in bloom, mounted and hanging over the fish tank.

Ursula, really like that digby.

You know, it got it a few years ago from Silva Orchids! They have some sort of Open House around the 10. of June. I probably will drive down for that. I will take a look if they still have it, gives me a purpose!

None of my Spaths have labels except the white one that Ken sold me. They all came from Lowe's with a sticker on the pot that said "ground orchid".

That one is nicknamed "opal" since it has so many colors - it goes from yellow/red to ivory/purple in the course of the flowers' bloom period.

I do love the digbyana cross, too. That fringed lip, wow! I finally have one but it's been sitting and pouting since February when I got it from Rafael. Does not seem to be happy or sad, just sitting. Maybe I will shake it up a bit and mount it on a hunk of cork. I have one small piece left and then I need to make a trip up to Tropiflora, oh darn . ..

I am putting together a new free-standing mount, with orchids and tillandsia. It is cypress, forked, and about 5' tall. I have it in my plumeria garden, near the house so that it will be in the shade in the afternoon. IF I ever get my computer back, I will post some pictures.
