New flower open on my NOID phal. The pink flower is old.

New flower open on C. intermedia x Bc. Morning Glory.

Interesting Zygo x. Very pretty!

Oops. Forgot the close up.

Pretty, pretty!!
The 'Haiku Mint' looks wonderful!!
Mine is now on Summer vacation in the cage with about 90 % of my Orchids. The greenhouse is almost empty.
I love the Catasetum! and nice Zygo x!

Oh that's great Ursula!! Congrats on the move!

Kathy, btw your gorgeous Catasetum x has now a very pretty name! Freshly registered.

Well! I started with 4 crosses, then found the Jumbo names and now it has it's very own. I wish I could see a pic of Madame Kalaloo just to be sure. Could I have a sibling and be on the wrong track?

I didn't realise this flower had a pink blush lip as well.

Gorgeous Zygo, Kathy.

And Perreiraara Motes Leprechaun 'Haiku Mint' is something special.

Beautiful Bree! Don't you just love surprises like that?

I love Haiku Mint-it has a wonderful scent, too. I found one for Ursula to buy when she came to visit a few years ago!!

Yes, you did!

The second half of this month still looks great, as evidenced by the many beautiful posts.

Ursula, your NOID Miltoniopsis looks very similar to one I have blooming now, Miltoniopsis Gordon Hoyt 'Dolores' FCC/AOS. This is the first time I have had it bloom and there is only one bloom, but it is very large compared to any other Miltoniopsis I have grown. It too has a few spots it shouldn't have and is a bit distorted, but I can see how it could be an award winner when grown to its full potential.

Ursula, regarding capturing the subtle color changes of Cym. Golden Elf, I think again it is getting them into the proper lighting to make these color changes show up and a close up works much better, and of course I can't find my close up, but this picture does slightly show some of the colored highlights in the veining.

Cymbidium Golden Elf 'Sundust' is in the late stages of blooming right now, but the blooms look like they had been attacked by Thrips, so I didn't even bother to take a picture.
