Thanks Jim. You know, there is something charming about this type of Encyclias!

So what else is happening in orchid-blooming land?

My Cattleya schilleriana is starting to bloom.

That's a beauty, Ursula. Fragrant?

I'm just enjoying my coffee and waiting until 9:30 when I leave for church. I took a lap around the yard and see so many things that need to be done, mainly trimming and weeding. With no frost damage, the plants are already huge. I have several orchids in spike so I will be able to post this week. Enjoy your day.

Jim

Yes, Jim. It will be very fragrant in a couple of days, especially when both spikes are open.
Have fun! :-)
We were in Pennsy Friday and Saturday, the temps had dropped to 24 degr F by Saturday morning. Had our hunter friends driving up for Turkey shooting! ( open from dawn to 12 pm that one day) They loved it!! They will smoke the bird!

that's a big bird!
and what a pretty Catt!

not sure if I've posted these or not...it's been insane this week at work and I don't know if I'm coming or going!

Very nice, Lindsey. I like the Max. and the spotty Catt in the middle. I don't remember seeing them before.

Jim

thanks Jim, I don't have the tag right in front of me but I think it's Blc. Rustic Spots..

Looking good Lindsey! It isn't always easy to keep different forums apart.

I suspect we are all sitting on our hands awaiting the new May thread. It's hard to be patient.

Jim

I was wondering about that!
Jim, you can happily start the May thread later on if you like...?

No thanks, Ursula. I'll wait for our leader.

Jim

Ok I will start up the new thread for May, in case Bree is already tapping her feet!

Here is the new thread:
