and the plant.
Last Summer something tried to take a bite out of the leaves, hence the marks on the oldest fan.

Oh well, one more!!

Beautiful, Ursula!

Very nice. If I were there, I'd dance with you!

No, I don't mind you moving those pics at all, Kathy. If I were a bit more observant, I would have posted them there. I have a lot on my mind just now.

Jim

No problem. You are doing admirably well to post at all in this tough time, Jim. I really appreciate your posts.

Ursula, what can I say? That is such a great achievement and such a sweet little slipper!!!!

A few things open today. Epi Green Hornet.

Surprise bloom on this mini-Stenia vasquezii.

Side view.

Den. victoria-reginae 'Mountain Midnight'.

NOID phal.

Mexipedium xerophyticum sure is a cutie. Fun how different Epi Green Hornet is on the back compared to the front.

Thanks!
I am really happy about the Mexipedium.
Btw comparing the size of the bloom to those of other Slipper Orchids, this one measures only ca 1 inch! The plant has to be posted into the mini section too. The whole dish is about the size of my hands.

Kathy, very nice! And I love the Stenia.

Jim, it surely is not an easy time for you right now. Hang in there.

We're here if you need support!

I should put the Stenia in minis too.

Please join in to help set up our photo contest!! http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

as Ursula thinks of pics.....
here is Stenocoryne aurea-fulva showing a first bloom for me. The growths measure now exactly 6 inches, but I could imagine a more mature plant might perhaps not be a mini. Have to see.

and the plant/growth and spike

Beautiful!!! Love the form and what a great color!

Yes, it is growing on me!

Epic El Hatillo 'Pinta' HCC/AOS took a couple of years to really get going, but is flowering now nicely. The plant is overflowing a tree-fern ring.

Flowers open faintly greenish white and change to white within a day or two.
