I thought wine was manditory for winter gardening.

The Stanhopeas look great, Jim. Great set-up!

Yes, Jo Ann. Floridians require it when temps drop into the 60s. Is that your wedding picture?

Pretty, Bree! I especially like that D. burana!

Well don't they all go together so nicely!!!

They sure do, Bree!

Great color, Bree! My favorite is the D. Burana. And yet another beautiful Paph.

Jim

Wow Bree! What great colors...really brightened up my Monday!
Ursula, thanks for the sticky flower bud photo...looks like something from a horror movie,
It's much more sticky than I imagined!
Jim, what a lovely view you have while sipping your wine and grilling filet mignons!

It was and still is a rainy day today, dreary but at least some of the snow is melting. And the rain water containers are full to the brim, which is always a good thing.
Did some more cleaning in the greenhouse, found some scale and took care of that.
Epic Rene Marques 'Flame Thrower' opens a tall, good looking spike.


A couple of blooms on the Dendrobium tetragonum var giganteum


I didn't get a decent plant picture of the Coelogyne mossiae, it is flowering really nicely this year. But here is a preview -


And one of the Blc Dennis Kone pots had a late spike.

Yummy!!!!

Wow! That den. tetragonum is really unique!

Thanks! its nice hey....

Thanks!
Yes, Den tetragonum has some personality, doesn't it? The stems are square and blooming right now leafless.

The temp rose to 56 dgr F outside, we had a beautiful sunny day here in NJ and the snow is pretty much gone already!
In the greenhouse things are busting out all over the place.
The Laelia anceps is now well open, even that last glued-together spike. 5 mildly scented spikes this year!


Here is another picture of the Lc Breen's Jenny Ann 'Cheng Min' FCC/AOS. Very pretty scent!


Sc Crystelle Smith 'Rheagan'


And I actually have a couple of noid Phals ( small plants) in bloom....


I took some more pictures of the Coelogyne mossiae


My alba variety of Dendrobium nobile flowers usually twice a year for me -

The anceps and the coelogyne are amazing. Love the white edge onLc Breen's Jenny Ann 'Cheng Min' FCC/AOS's lip.

Beautiful show, Ursula! Our temps are going up for a few days too. 58 yesterday...80s through the weekend. maybe this will get some of mine to open?

It might just help along

Paph. prim 'n' proper just opened (Praestans x Primulinum)
is similar to my other paph open.

pouring outside has been for days and my orchids don't need anymore water

Bree, you are the Paph Queen!
