Lindsey, I like the Odtna. Nemoria Martin Orenstien 'Lulu' . Good growing.

Jean, nice classic white Phal and a very nice photo.

I mentioned somewhere that I babysat the Tampa Orchid Club's display at the State fair for four hours on Saturday. Here are a couple of pics I took.

I took the camera into the greenhouse today, didn't get decent pictures of some of the ultra minis, but here are the others -
Starting off with a couple of keikis also in bloom at the bottom of the Asctm christensonianum basket.

Bl Morning Glory is blooming right on the glass, I really would have had to tear the bench apart to pull it out, so I left it in place to take a picture.
Thumb of 2012-02-20/Ursula/daa28b

The second, very fragrant bloom on the C. walkeriana var alba opened up a bit smoother than the first bloom.

I have 2 plants of Lc Fire Dance 'Patricia', I count around 30 !! spikes in the works! Looking forwards to fireworks. Here is a first spike:
Thumb of 2012-02-20/Ursula/6a2df2

The next one was bought a few years ago as Maxillaria juergensii from Andy. I had been told it is not, but I am not sure what else it might be. Looking around, it still might be juergensii.... or not. Whatever. It is a nice and robust plant and blooms like clockwork.

Edited to add - I did some digging and found the old post I was looking for. It seems it might be Max minuta.

Oncidium cheirophorum sports a few spikes.

Oerstedella centradenia simply charms me Smiling

I picked up the diminutive Slc Little Hazel 'Red Jewel' last March and it is flowering together with one of its parent, the Slc Hazel Boyd.
One of two spikes blooming now on the little one.

Wonderful show, Ursula, I like them all. What great color on Fire Dance! Have to love Bl. Morning Glory.

Did you notice the Broughtonia from thr Fair pictures? I really liked that plant nd I don't think I have one out in the OC. Must go on the want list.

Wonderful Ursula. Especially like the Oerstedella centradenia! And the Slc. Little Hazel. And the Asctm christensonianum....

Here's the juergensii. http://www.orchidspecies.com/o...
The flowers look the same, but your foliage is muy different. Same thing on OrchidWiz. I'd say it's something else.
