Lots of beauties there, Ursula. Great show!

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

Thanks All!

Yes, I think the Vandirea Newberry Jasmine is aptly named, the scent is truly wonderful.

Great show, Ursula! I just returned from the Tampa Orchid Club where I saw a Dendrobium smilliae take the blue ribbon leaving my Epi in the dust. Oh well. I think yours is even better than the ribbon winner. We heard a hour long presentation on Encyclias by Jim Roberts of Florida Suncoast Orchids. Very interesting.

Glad you like it. It really called me when I saw it. I circled the table a couple of times and then I just thought yes, I need to pick it up. And so I did!

It looks like it blooms on the old canes? And it looks like there's a bunch more spikes on the way, NICE one!
