Great early October blooms everyone!
Ursula: I love that Bulbophyllum ... what a cool looking flower that is ... and I'm in love with that Bl Tiny Kiss!
Lindsey: Love, Love, Love the vivid colors of that Oncidium, very pretty!
Jim: Wow! That Ascda. is sooo pretty! I really like that one! It sounds like you've been busy battling vines! I know all about that chore here in Florida. A couple of years ago I spent every day, all day for about three weeks clearing a large area of the backyard that was being taken over by Cape Honeysuckle and Southern Sword Fern ... it's all growing back again. I just cannot keep up with the wild stuff here in Florida anymore. I'm getting too old for all that work so I think the vines have won!
Well ... orchids bloom sporadically for me at best. A few days ago I noticed a spike on a plant with chewed up leaves (thanks to the squirrels.) The label is missing but I think it might be Onc. 'Gower Ramsey' ... won't know for sure though until the blooms open. I moved it into the screened area so the squirrels can't get to it anymore. I have one orchid with a single bloom right now, the first photo showing the plant/bud was taken 9/24/11 and close up of the little bloom today.
