Nice Elaine, very nice.
Keep in mind that a digital camera does not have the same color space that film has. It is short in the red spectrum. And then any picture will look different on any given monitor monitor.

I love both of them! My 'Cinnamon Stick has two new growths, but no signs of sheaths yet. I believe it was in bloom when I bought it 8/22/15 but it was from Hawaii, and we're a lot different from Hawaii. Maybe later this fall.

Hi everyone...your plants are looking nice. As for me in GA., my plannts are putting out growth still and new roots. I hope to get some blooms this fall or winter. But in the mean time I will have to enjoy all of yours.

I love the 'Cinnamon Stick', Elaine!

Mike, don't feel bad, I don't have much in bloom either, but I see a lot of good growth on my Fall and Winter bloomers, just like you do! It is a good thing!

Regarding these hard to capture colors - I used to take truly dozens of pictures with different settings with my Nikon and maybe I had one picture which had captured the color reasonably well. Then I got my IPad Air a couple of years ago and took pictures of the Potinara Redheart, which was impossible to get a correct color. Well, I took two pictures, the colors were spot-on on both!
Of course, as Ted implied, who knows how it looked on other monitors. But on our iMac here it was perfect too.

I would splurge on a camera that captured true colors.

I'll have to check that out Ursula.
Here is a picture of a bloom on a plant I bought about a year ago. It is supposed to be Den. speciosum ssp curvicaule. Not even close. This is the plant that I posted in What's going on here. It has a leaf coming out of the media and the spike comin straight out of the center of the leaf. But it ain't no Den. speciosum ssp curvicaule


This is what it should look


Any ideas?

Do you know where you got it from, Ted?
It's possible the grower/seller might recognize it.

Weird! In addition, it looks like the single flower is missing a few pieces.

I have an e-mail into Andy

Ursula....I know right...that is a good thing about the growths.

Ted...do you think that you have the right Den. and the flower just missed formed? Keep us updated.

I thought that, but this is the 3rd bloom and all are the same

Well...hopefully, Andy will be able to tell you what it is...since you already know what it's not!...and I hope he makes it right for you in the end.

I have a little Habenaria rhodocheila that has flowers similar in shape, although mine are pink/red. It's not blooming yet but here's a pic from last year.

My regular Neofinetia falcata didn't look so hot this Spring on its mount, so I took it off and gave it a Dragon pot, which I still had around.

Well, I'm surprised how a little pot helped that plant so much (sorry, couldn't resist. It looks happy Ursula)

Funny, Ted!

It's a very classy look in that pot, Ursula. Groovy. . .

My Neo's are all slacking off these days. Not a glimmer of a spike despite lots of new growth.

Elaine, same thing going on in So. Cal. Lots of growth, but no sign of blooms.

Pot, groovy? This is better a happy Neo!

Ursula...my little Neo came on a mount and it never did well on it. So, I put it in a small pot and it is growing very well. Still waiting for it to bloom, but the other one I have has bloomed well for me. The other one is growing in a plastic slotted pot.

Ted...little pot...lol!
