Still cool here at night, 48 this morning. bb I would be happy with the 60s at night, they open well at that temp. Here are a few that bloom yesterday.
MANGO SUNDAE George 2011 This was the nicest thing in the hybridizing area yesterday.

PARROTS OF THE CARIBEAN Trimmer 2010

OOPS ANOTHER MIRACLE Hendricks 2007 This is a lot darker than I think it will be when we get a little warmer at night. Huge UF and very rare, almost impossible to find.

LILLIAN'S MUD BUG STEW 2011 Someone wanted to see some scapes, I will post some of my own flowers, this had the first bloom yesterday.

LILLIAN'S MUD BUG STEW 2011 This photo is from last year, forgot all about taking a photo of the bloom yesterday.

CALAMITY JANE Trimmer 2010

I just LOVE Parrots of the Caribbean!! I can't wait for mine to bloom this year. This was an accidental gift plant one year in my Trimmer order. They accidentally wrapped it up in paper along with another one that I bought. I called her, but she said to keep it. What an awesome accident!! I am going to put Baja California pollen on it.

Thanks for all the great pictures everyone.

Beautiful! And of course my favorite is PARROTS OF THE CARIBBEAN, along with OOPS ANOTHER MIRACLE and LILLIAN'S MUD BUG STEW -- and MANGO SUNDAE, CALAMITY JANE and MY DREAM OF HEAVEN.

They are all great but Mango Sundae is Stunning and Also Lillian's Mud Bug Stew.
That UF is really interesting. How large does it get and how many buds??

All are lovely, fav is MANGO SUNDAE.

Oh Fred, I hope later that you put some of LMBS on the Auction. I'd love to have it. That scape is awesome!!!!! I've never had anything have that many branches or buds, never!!!!!

This just confirms something that I had said(or maybe I just thought) earlier. If hybridizers showed more than one picture of their babies for sale, it sure would influence my purchases. A picture of that scape just sold me on that plant and I'm sure it would be that way for a lot of plants.
Thanks Fred

Michele, These are all so pretty. I'm not crazy about doubles but the ones you have posted have all been really prettty. Sundance Truffle is a beautiful color. I'd love to have a single that color.

Very pretty!!!

Thank you so much for posting. Love seeing all the beautiful blooms.

Tink, I'm going to have to find out more about Double Screamer.

Leslie, Double Screamer is really nice. It's a large bloom on a good scape. I submitted a photo of the scape to the database so it should be in there soon.

Parrots, Parrots and more Parrots!

Still cool nights here, worked most of the day painting the barn but managed to take a few photos.
This is the first year I have had OOPS so I want know anything until rebloom, the first scapes are really short, blooms are 9-10 inchs on these short scapes.
