Nice Jim! Love that lc. George Baldwin
and the stanhopea...
Susan, Lovely melody is gorgeous ! I just ordered the 10 plants in spike from nia22d as well as bidding on a couple others, I can't wait to see them!
Ursula, what a great name on Shooting star...great flowers flying across the galaxy!
Todd, Aliceara Sunday's Best is so dramatic,with the moody colors.
a wonderful show everyone!

Jim that Stanhopea and blue catt are stunning!

Susan, you don't see Gramatophyllums much...thanks for sharing!

I have Shooting Star but it didn't bloom this year

Thanks.
Jim, beautiful stuff! I love the Stanhopea wardii (?), it is nice how it keeps on producing spikes. The Best Blue is a beauty!!
Onc. Mendenhall is amazing!!

Susan, Lovely Melody looks great!

Great looking plants Todd. I like the contrast of the Dendrobium and deep color of Aliceara.

Ursula, I for one love the unruliness of your Brsdm Shooting Star 'Mustard'.

Jim, you sure are having a blooming good time there. Stanhopea wardii makes for very nice eye candy and the blue Lc. is a real knockout.

Susan, your new Grammatocymbidium is putting on a great display.

Great show everyone!!!

Here is the dendrobium that spent the night in the pool doing its thing.

Jim

Jim, it is just beautiful!!

Wish I lived near you Jim. I'd love to come over and see your orchid show today!!!!

That would be nice, Kathy. Bring Ursula and I'll open a nice bottle of wine.

Jim

I have a few Spathoglottis plicata orchids growing in large pots in a shade garden. It finally quit raining long enough for me to go outside and have a look at them. Enjoy.

Jim

Maybe I should move to FL. I want that one that's next to the last.

Perhaps I could seperate a clump and send it to you. I think I got that one in Apopka.

Jim

Ohh, they are very showy!! I like them a lot!

I don't think I would refuse.....

Spectacular Spathoglottis Jim! I've never tried them...then again, I've never seen them for sale in Canada.

Those are beautiful! Do they remain outside in winter? Andy's has been featuring them, but when I saw how big they get, I chickened out. Hmmm...I may have to re think this.

Yes, they stay outside all year. Last winter, however, killed all of them. I started over in the spring of this year. Normally, being under a big oak helps and I supplement that with a blanket on the coldest nights. Last winter it was cold for so long that we lost all of the ground heat and the blanket trick didn't work. I can wheel them into the garage on a 2 wheel dolly if need be. At least they are a lot easier to replace than a big palm or my precious screw pine.

Jim

Thanks Jim! I may just try one. Like you, our winters are normally very mild, but every now and then....

Beautiful plants Jim and the pot are so full.

As it gets older, Blc. Waikiki Gold 'Lea' x L. briegeri 'Star of Brazil' appears to be losing the red areas.

My Restrepia trichoglossa 'Seabreeze' surprised me today!

Enc. alata almost all open.

A new flower on Phrag Noirmont. This has been in bloom for months and the stem is about 3' tall!
