What a beautiful mixture of blooms. I checked out Piping Rock. Very tempting, but I think I'd better stop with the 5 paphs I have until I find out if they will rebloom for me. It worries me when I hear some of you experts can't get them to rebloom.

What great willpower, Susan. I don't bloom them easily I admit but that never stops me from having a collection of one genus. The fun is trying to figure it out and then BAMMO you have all of them blooming! Love that high! (Orchid grower's mantra: "I am an idiot, I am an idiot, a spike!!!! I am an EXPERT. Well...I am lucky.")

I better get my act together, Roger West, a local member of the AOS is coming at 11AM to see my orchids and daylilies! I love buying his cattleyas-they are so healthy and no shipping so they are used to this area. That's all he grows.

Had a great time talking to Roger. I love to talk to orchid growers, obviously. He liked my collection and thought I was doing a good job. Great to hear!
Went to Olallie daylilies this afternoon. Got my DBF to take a break. An idyllic day!!

She's a sweetie. I bought her last September in bloom. Here she is being a drama queen last November.

Nice one. Does the color change after it is open for awhile? The second photo looks like it has more pink.

Paph Gina Short opened today. Not as pink as I expected, but cute.
