I like the color of Lc Canhamiana (coerulea) 'Azure Skies' and the Dendrobium.

You always have great stuff in bloom, Ken!

Ken, very beautiful! all around!

Jim, about your pretty Laelia purpurata - how about a selfing of var. striata which had been obtained through meristem cloning......?

Geez Ursula, I think you've got it. If I translate what you say into Spanish, and play with a couple of letters that wern't clear on the tag, it works. This nursery is an outlet for a grower in Venezuela that is constantly coming up with new varieties. He is located in Sarasota and comes up for the orchid shows in Tampa. I always head straight for his table as he has the coolest plants and the prices are reasonable. You may want to check him out at www.plantiolaorquidea.com.

You're my hero!

Jim

Jim,
yes - they have nice and interesting plants! They do come to some of the Shows around here, the last one for me being the SEPOS at Longwood garden this Spring. I know I bought something from their table.

Zygocolax pimpate 'radiance' the tag says. Nice colour hey, i love it.

Ive had this orchid for a while and this is its first flowering for me. Anyone know anything about them? Im assuming its like a zygopetalum orchid?

paph concolors open

Vandas flowering again, last time was january with 3 flowers. This time june with 3 flowers. Such a small plant too.

Nice show, Bree. I envy your paphs.

Jim

Good Show, Bree!
Your pretty Zygocolax smell snice too?

Bree, your Zygocolax pimpate 'radiance' is certainly an interesting one. Lovely colors. How large are the blooms.

Brassocattleya Hoku Gem 'Freckles' HCC/AOS opened it's first flower for me yesterday. Not crazy about the color, but I guess they change to yellow as they age? Marble Branch Farms says they have one that has not been without blooms for 5 years.

Susan, the color looks fine to me but then I had freckles as a child.

Aerides houlletiana is beginning to open.

Jim

The Grammatophylum scriptum is filling the sky with blooms.

Jim

A closer look at one of the spikes.

Jim

Jim, that is one awesome Orchid!!! Love the Aerides!

Susan, I see nothing wrong with 'Freckles', and yes, it will change to yellow with spots as it ages. It's a nice Hoku Gem.

I like Freckles but I have them too.
The Grammatophyllum is amazing, Jim.
I have a vanda x A. houlletiana. I will be so happy when/if it blooms!

Thanks jim!- paphs are my fav. and i eventually i would like to just grow them. Im just waiting to see my other orchids flower and only keeping the really good ones. hehe!
Ursula- zygo has no smell ,well not yet. I can't see the colax in it, i think its just a zygo.
Stilldew- the flowers are 7cms. I love the colour of freckles.
Heres a zygo freestyle princess that looks similar...

but my ones lip is more the colour of this one. Zygo artur elle.

I like the Zygos!

I am happy to show my Anguloa virginalis finally with all buds open. This one blooms along with the emergence of new growth.
