so many beautiful orchids!! my digbyana flowers in late spring.... how come so late?

here's my LC Bonanza Queen 'panamint'

Wow love that Zygo Tarev, im waiting to purchase one like that without the full purple lip, mine seem to all have that, No sorry i don't know Zygo names.
Nothing new here yet just my Zygo still going.

Pretty! Don't remember getting the Dec issue....

I love the LC Bonanza Queen 'Panamint' - gorgeous floof!

Gone Tropical - my Rhyncholaelia digbyana also usually blooms in late Spring/early Summer here in NJ. The hybrid I posted above seems to be differently timed and I have a feeling it also might be easier to bloom than the digbyana species.

thanks Ursula (German? hallo! ) and thanks for the info on the digbyanas. I just have the one:

Hallo German back!
It is a beauty!! The leaves have the perfect color too!

That is the coolest orchid I have ever seen !!!!!

My digbyana always blooms in May here in Florida.

I took all of the blankets off of the tropicals this afternoon. Big job. I didn't notice much damage.

It's a great year for the Spathoglottis plicata. I have three different colors going now.


Carol's Florida Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' is doing well.


I just couldn't pass up another picture of Brassavola David Sander.


And finally, Blc. Golden Tang

The Spathoglottis look great!
I hope my Brassavola David Sander ever blooms that nice! Mine was blooming this Summer for the first time while we were on vacation, I was treated to a spent bloom on our return.

Mine has been in continuous bloom for a couple of months now. Many, many flowers.

Jim

Yours must be a nice established plant! It likes its surroundings!

Gonetropical- wow i love that fluffy orchid.

Some of my Dendrochilums are budding and blooming now -
Dendrochilum cootesii is a pretty thing with ruffled blooms


Dendrochilum javieri


And the little caterpillars are starting to come out....Dendrochilum stenophyllum

Ursula I am speechless! Amazing! Wondrous!

Hello everyone.
I pop in this time every year to gush over everyones blooms.
DD keeps a few paths and a cymbideum she has had for ages.
I have known this cymbid. orchid for 4 years and was blown away the first year it put out a bloom spike.The plant resides in my part of the house for the winter and in the garden the rest of the year.
I launched a campaighn to see more than one spike and have been disapointed for the last 3 years.
Finally there are 2 bloom spikes I am stoaked. This plant gets no fert,only water that summer sends. What a reward.I will photo when its blooming.
I admire everyones skill with these plants and count myself lucky to get a reward for the abuseours gets here.
The paths do fine under DD's care.

Ursula, your Dens are great. In suce a huge class of orchids you can find anything and everything.

Welcome Jo Ann. I am glad you enjoy our posts and I'm sure we are all looking forward to seeing your babies.

Jim

Thanks Jim.

Jo Ann, yes - welcome! Looking forwards to see your nice Cymbidium in bloom!

Here is one NOID cym that I can't take credit for, as I recently bought it in bloom. I like the color and form.

So cheerful and pretty!

Very nice, Carol.
