Totally amazing! A couple of them I've never even heard of, like Pholodita chinensis and Lycaste brevispatha...sooo beautiful and unusual.

I think intermedia is one of my very favorite cattleyas. That Lycaste is dreamy. Yum!

Good for you, Ursula!

I just want to thank you again, Richard, for being our liaison at Kew. You show us the best specimens. Many of us probably never would see these. I always look forward to any pics you post. Thank you, thank you! :tiphat:

And look what you've done to our Ursula!

Shame on me for not even seeing this thread until now! Great collection of orchids at Kew! I should do a showing of orchids I saw at the Denver Botanical gardens....almost as impressive as Kew.
