Some more blooms are opening on the Cym Amazing 'Marlow Orchids'

And - I am glad this one smells really very delicious of Chocolate, since the Bulbo echinolabium continues to bloom and spike at the other side of the cage.
Encyclia tampensis 'Chocolate' seemingly blooming forever.


edit - I just learned that this is actually Enc plicata, not tampensis!

and older flowers

edit - in addition to this not being tampensis, but plicata, this also may be a different clone in that very same pot. I will have to watch the other spikes very closely.

Those just don't look like they smell of chocolate! They are incredibly beautiful..as is the 'Marlow '

Thanks, Lindsey!
Honestly, this Encyclia smells better than Onc Sharry Baby! I love it!

Lost mine.
Wonderful stuff in bloom there. My plants are just starting to get past the pouting stage about moving outside. They got sunburns despite all my efforts and many dropped leaves and a few hangers on from the winter let go. But now some are growing spikes. Love Twinkle and the Den flowers and the foliage is unlike any Den I've seen. Great show!

Jim, sorry to hear about your Mom. Hospice care can be a real blessing at these times, but it's always hard.

Cym Amazing 'Marlow Orchids' is amazing! Looks so delicate.

Beautiful start for the day/week, Ursula!

Otr. Krull-Smith 'Riverbend' AM/AOS made it in time to be a June bloomer.

Guess no serious betting for Ursula and I.

Thanks.

You are so correct Kathy!!! That was a FAST bloomer. Susan, it looks nice!

That one is not the one that looked like peas in a pod. Still waiting on that one, so I think you'r right about it being a July bloomer. This one took forever to open.

Ha, ha and we were berating our psychic skills!!

Just a test! Here's the other one. I can see 5 and maybe 6 buds now. It is moving along fairly fast.

Here's all the ones in bloom now.

And a different view of them.

Susan, you have a very nice show there. It sure is wonderful to be surrounded by such beautiful blooms!
