[quote="Ironwood"]Sandra, I love the red of the Vuylstekeara and the wonderful shape and markings of paph lowii.

Great show Todd, they are all beauties.

Kathy, gotta love those Cymbidiums.

Wilsonara Kolibri, an exchange plant from Todd.[quote]

Another I need to have. OMG...yall are a bad influence!

Beautiful photos Todd...such amazing colors, textures and patterns!

Good find Laurel.

Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'JEM' HCC/AOS, far different from most of the Peggy Ruths.

Wow that really is different, Ken.

Nice Big Box score, Laurel!!
Our Trader Joe has some big flowered Cyms lately.

Ken, very pretty!

Now that I'm not killing phals as much, look who followed me home today from Windham Flowers in Brattleboro, VT.

Meanwhile my greenish phal has so many flowers now.

One more of that one.

If you keep that up, we will call you the Phal Queen!

Here is a tiny Phal species. I bought it a year ago labeled as Phal parishii in bloom/bud and I am happy it is flowering on schedule. But - this is surely Phal lobbii:

( When fully open I will place it into the mini folder)

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' just opened another pretty "Butterfly".

The Dendrobum superbum 'Pink' x 'Blue' has now both spikes open. The greenhouse smelled delicious in today's sunshine - sweet Raspberries and Rhubarb.

Yum!!

I am not sure if I like the next plant. I picked up a small baby Orchid of this in 2004. It started to bloom I think last year, always a solitary, long lasting bloom at a time. Is this worth keeping?? Do you like the shape?
This is Blc Liese Pigors x Lc Drumbeat 'Triumph' AM/AOS

And the very happy plant in its Epi-web basket in the greenhouse ceiling -

And - I have 3 plants of Baptistonia echinata, one or two will bloom, more or less well, while the third one rests. They are all mounted, since I can't hold on to them if they are potted.
If there is 1 scale flying about, these plants will say - yoohoo, over here, rest in my nooks and crannies and multiply....I have to check these frequently, grrrrr.
This plant has three short spikes in the works right now.

The little, open bee swarm -

bzzzzzz- close up.

I had one of those that didn't bloom for years and one year it had a ton of flowers and died soon after.

BTW, I like those orange stripes on the petals!
