Here's my catasetum. I found out it needed a dry period and stopped watering it this fall but then it grew roots (I read to start watering it again when the roots were 2 inches). Then it made a bud which blasted so I stopped watering it for the winter. Sure enough a new growth started and it grew 2" roots again and now a new spike. So hopefully it will bloom this time now that it's in the right season.

Closer.

Buds again on Dendrobium rigidum!

My Renanthera Nancy Chandler is going downhill fast. Not enough roots to chop it off. The bottom leaves are coming off faster and the top ones are shrivelling despite all the water!

Your Renanthera is going the same way as most of the Vanda at work...very sad to see and I have no idea how to reverse the downhill process.

That Laelia is a charmer for sure!

I am losing my Renanstylis Azimah to the same affliction(?). It started to drop leaves last Fall.
Nice bright "Laelia"!

Princess bells x Crispin Rosales

This paph Helvetia's had 5 flowers on it already and still going. Stems getting taller and theres another bud to open yet. I love it!

Well done Bree...that Cattleya is quite beautiful!

Here is my Phalaenopsis Sogo pearl....going on 4 years old. This is the third time it's bloomed. It never has more than 3-4 flowers at a time.

Odontocidium Jungle Monarch is just starting...quite a large spray this year.

Dendrobium kingianum is still going. I have 5 from the one original plant so I stagger the dry, cool period so i can extend the blooming season.

and I'll end with Ascocentrum ampullaceum.

Good show, Todd!! Nice Phal piccie!!

Oh I just bought the Ascocentrum apullaceum!! Any tips on it? Love the phal! And the kingianum pic.

Asctm ampullaceum? Full sun! Grow like a Vanda.
It sure is pretty!!

Todd, you sure have the Dk treatment down pat!!

Sarcoglottis sceptrodes in bloom never fails to amuse me - shadow puppets?

2 spikes this year, not too tall. The blooms have a "green scent" in the direction of Coriander and Dill.

The leaves are pretty too.

And to put it into perspective, here is the whole plant.

Ursula I bought one of these but the leaf edge is yellowing on one leaf. Too much water? How much light do you have it in?
