I agree with Lindsey, Trigo's leaky phase will pass quickly. But where, oh where, are the pictures????

Ursula, that is a pretty one and such a delight to have in your sun room on a snowy day.

Blooming this morning the obviously mis tagged Rth. Orchidom Brassy Luck..
I bought about 6 out of bloom plants from this grower..not one tag so far has been even close
I understand they took over someone else ' collection and that's probably where the snafu happened .





it's a nice compact plant ..Here it is next to Lily Marie Alamas 'MGR' for comparison

Rhyncattleanthe [Rth.] Orchidom Brassy Luck is a correct name but there are no images so I cannot compare the flower. Nice color and form.

Jim

It is a very nice plant! Actually they both are!!

I recalled this NOID from Apopka was blooming when I got it, and it was labeled B. 'Jairak Kiss' . The lip on this flower looks similar, but I'm sure it had white petals when I got it . . . Spathoglottis is happy.



Patty, I do recall the name 'Pixie Charm' when you gave me this division. So, I'll mark it on there as such. I tried googling it but all I get are jewelry sites selling charms for charm bracelets. It sure is lovely and has a nice generous stem of flowers, plus another on the way.

Next week at this time I'll be at the Chicago flower show.........perhaps there will be an orchid there that will be calling my name.................I will have enablers...........my friends Norma and Gail are rounding out the "Girl Day".

Elaine this was a Pixie Charm I photographed at the Tampa show..

The grower ( Everlast) got back to me about my mis tagged plant and said it was
C. (Motte Spot x Branantiae) x Enc. Nursery Rhyme).
Happy shopping Anna!

Hmm, looks like it could be a cousin of mine, but maybe not a sister, huh?

It's a good thing these Cymbidium flowers last a long time because it seems like they take months to finally open!

It's a NOID from Costco, sorry.

The only one of 6 or 7 Cyms I have that is giving me flowers this year.

I would still be happy, Elaine!

Happy Orchid shopping Anna!! Hope your buying shoes are polished!!

Do Cym. need a cool-down to intiate flowering?

That's a beauty Elaine!.. I'll be on the lookout at my Costco for something just as pretty!

I may have to take some ice along to cool the plastic down...............

Ken, Yes, they do. Some more than others...there are some varieties that are more heat tolerant.

Ken, I starred this old post, where I reposted the list of Cymbidiums ranked by warmth tolerance. Perhaps you might find it helpful.

Thanks, Ursuala. I seldom grow these and then only because I know that I will sell out of them before the deep south heat hits them. I have always considered them cool-loving orchids, and pretty much shunned them.

They do need "seasons", but mine will take the summer heat if protected from sunburn.

Mine would never be subjected to sunburn. They all grow either in greenhouses, fall and winter, or outside under huge oaks and cedars. Unfortunately our spring and summer highs can have heat indices over 100, but the real kicker is that our lows can be in the upper 70's and even low 80's for much of the summer. There is just no "cooling" for 4-6 months out of the year.

Ken the cooling needs to be during the short days of fall/winter. Our temps here are very similar to yours. Some do fine, others don't.

Ken, I grew this in dappled light last summer and moved it to almost full sun in the fall. In addition to the 2 spikes full of buds n blooms it looks like 3 more spikes on the way. Cym . Evening Star 'Twighlight'
