Post your November beauties here!

Aerangis biloba is blooming this month

Great form and that little tinge of color...I love it, Ursula.

Jim

Thanks Jim.
I had posted this one and a couple more last night into the October thread....

I have a few odds and ends blooming, not the least of which is Bc Little Stars.

Jim



It seems like a good time of year for NOID Dendrobiums:




Encyclia 'Green Hornet' is always bloooming:



Then there is Vanda Princess Blue X Kasem's Delight



The party would not be complete without a few dancing ladies.

Nice. I have some new blooms too.

Gorgeous, Ursula and Jim! ! Love Little stars and Lou S.

Jim, the noid Dendrobiums look rich!

The TV station has posted my little segment on youtube. If you would like to see it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Jim

Nice piece! Good to have a celebrity among us.

Can I have your autograph Jim?
Everything looked absolutely perfect!

Thanks. They just posted a piece of what aired on TV. I think it runs about twice that long. The Extension Service taped it and I should get it on CD the next time I go out there. Such fun. Meanwhile, I'm working like a dog to put in yet another garden. I'm trying to get everything done before I get too old.

Jim

Jim that's great and so nice to hear your voice! Can I post this on my forum too?

Congrats Jim!! Nice interview!

Of course, Kathy. By the way, if I get a CD of the entire interview, is there a way to post it?

I would upload to your computer and upload that to youtube. Then you could put the link like you did here or post the embedding code so it shows in the text box.

I would love to see the whole thing!!

Some things are blooming here -
A second seedling from the 2008 Hoosier Orchids going-out-of-business sale has a first spike. ( the other plant started a growth cycle. )
Caulocattleya Paul Vondersaar



A second ( of 3) spikes on the C. mossiae x labiata ( or whatever x labiata) is scenting the sun-lit greenhouse


The "not Lc Irene Finney" opened another spike.


Lc Mini Purple 'Shibuya' SM/JOGA I wish I could get the color a little better, this is a deeply saturated strong pink on a relatively large bloom. The plant was growing in two directions, but one side was lost to black-rot ( thank you Hurricane Irene ), but that side had a live eye left and is growing again too.


I am happy to see the 2 spikes on my old Aerangis biloba now pretty much open. I am afraid not all buds make it, but "I take it". My other, mounted plant is also in spike.


Chrisanda Memoria Anri Bracker is blooming some more

It must be floofy season at your house, Ursula. I love them all. Your are a bit ahead of me but I have some in spike. We had a big cold front come through bringing us a couple of days of drizzle and a strong breeze from the north. Signs of things to come. It cleared yesterday and temps bottomed out this morning. I see it was 56 at the Tampa airport and 59 here in the lanai with the windows open. I may turn on the heat for a few minutes just to get the chill out of the house. We Floridians are such softies.

Jim

Thank you Jim.
59 is chilly for me too, at least inside. I set the minimum greenhouse temp to 60 degr F, but it is a couple degrees cooler by the door in the morning. The fish got their own heater.
I am not that much looking forwards to Winter.... except for the cookie baking now this month.

Nice show, Ursula! I especially like that Caulocattleya!

Thanks Carol. It is today just a touch more pink. I like it.
