They just mean so much more when they have memory connections to some one you love.

Cymbidium Mimi 'Mary Bea' is in the process of opening 4 modest spikes.
This is a cold growing Cymbidium, supposed to bloom in February. I was thinking of finding a good home for the nice, large plant, since I hadn't been able to bloom it. But, it decided to earn its upkeep this year! Finally!!

- and a single bloom, I love the white edge.

Heart-throbbing!!!!!!!

Isn't it? I am so thrilled!!

It's been a phenomenal year for cyms. I still have many spikes to go here!

Fantastic!

Great show everyone! I have no abandoned you but I've been busy on other internet activities (mostly NARGS stuff). I will take some pics today to post later!

Ursula,
If you need a foster home for Mary Bea ...I'm available!
Beautiful rich color on all those flowers.

Thanks Lindsey!
You are still going strong, Kathy!

I was waiting for my pretty Lc Rojo to open some more buds. 2 spikes this year.

Using a bunch of blooming Begonias underneath the Vandas as backdrop for the plant -

Outstanding Cym., Ursula and the Lc Rojo isn't shabby either!

Kathy, I've been enchanted with 'Poem' since I first layed eyes on one. You know how I feel about Dendrochilum wenzelii. Here's the one from the botanical garden.

Here's a close up.
