One of my 2 plants of Sedirea japonica is now fully open. I love the light citrussy scent.

And a single bloom of the Sedirea

How about Oncidium pusilla, a view from the side?
I will post the plant into the mini thread.

Nice macros Ursula!

Phal Sogo Pearl with the new camera

My mounted D. kingianum are now blooming...for some reason they were delayed compared to the potted ones.

After a 2 month hiatus, the butterfly orchid is blooming again...love the way this one comes and goes. It did have a second spike but it blasted

Here it is with the old camera

and now with the new camera...both have their good points.

Ursula, could there be more than 1 type of aggregatum? I know I saw 'majus' and think there may be others? I found v. Jenkinsii, too.

Janice, check this site http://www.calorchid.com/CALO/...

Thanks, Carol.Wonderful site. Have you purchased from them?

No, I haven't. I was searching for something else and noticed that long list of Angraceums !

I only have two newly opened orchids for April, so far. The first is Den. superbum 'Little Sweet scent'

Todd,
I like the mounted Dk.
Looks like your new camera is similar to my new Tamron lens. The background is softened and it seems you are supposed to shoot your macro from a bit of a distance, as one would photograph a bug?

Janice, I am not well versed in the var. of Den aggregatum/lindleyi as to what exactly the differences are.

I just love this fuzzy little face, and it smells great too!

The other one is a NOID that I inherited. I found a close match on the SVO website, called C.jenmanii coerulea 'Greg Allikas'. No way to know for sure

No scent that I can detect

Ohhh Carol, the Cattleya is gorgeous!!

And I can smell the Dendrobium superbum just by looking at it!!

The flower is pretty, but the minute it's done blooming, it will get repotted! The plant looks to be on it's last legs! I am discovering that I don't like Aliflor as a medium. I may mix some of it in a chc mix for the weight though. The roots seem to just circle the top of the pot. I have noticed this on all those that were given to me.

Yes, I noticed that the growth is not plump, but I figured you just got the plant and adjustments will be made.

Carol, beautiful Den and catt.
