Wow! That must have been one nasty dream. Here is hoping you heal quickly. Very nice epi and it's good to see a miltonia that hasn't drown.

Ursula, beautiful Lc Love Knot but then I'm fond of almost anything with laelia in it.

I forgot to post Asc. Crownfox 'Golden Dawn'.
I had two of these and gave one to Laurel the last time I saw her in Apopka. She took it and promptly won a blue ribbon from the Atlanta Orchid Society making me a proud papa. Speaking of Laurel, Patty and I popped in at her Georgia DG roundup up at Maypop. What a wonderful property that is! They have a wonderful veggie garden and 28 acres of woodlands to roam. Just beautiful.

One disappointment is that Ctsm Crown Fox Voodoo was in spike when I left and finished blooming before I returned. I just got it last year and have not seen it bloom I'll have to wait another year to see the "rattlesnake". It is happy and growing like a weed so I'm sure I'll get another opportunity.

Jim

Then there is the ever present Onc Mendenhall Psychopsis.

Jim

Vanda Princess Blue looked so nice in the sun today I couldn't resist taking another picture.

Jim

I found this little peeper today and asked him if he would model for the camera on my orchids.

Yes, Jim, I saw that Laurel won a blue ribbon and had a great RU at her house the last few weeks before my DG subscription expired. I think I'd like to find that one someday! Love it!
Too bad about the Ctsm, but it looks really happy so I'm sure you will enjoy it next year.
I'm jealous of the psychopsis since I can't grow them and I certainly have tried!
I don't blame you for taking many pics of V. Princess Blue!!

My nightmare was about huge ugly fish (like a gar) with double rows of teeth that invaded my house and got bigger and bigger. I was jumping to keep from getting bitten. I don't really have any fear of fish...that I know of!!

Kathy, I'll meet you in Apopka and you can get that vanda for just $10.00! No mean, big fish there either but look out for the dogs.

Jim

Oh my Kathy! What a nasty nightmare! That must have hurt! You know, next time dream about pretty little Paradise Fish, ok?
Cute little Peeper!

Jim, the Ascda Crownfox has a very pretty pattern. Congrats Laurel! And - those blue Vandas always want to have their picture taken.

cymbidium Kirri te kawana 'super princess'
Has 2 big flower spikes but i just cut them off as the plant was rotting in old coco chips (i hate that stuff). Now it'll be ok in bark.

Sigh!! I do love cyms. That is such a beauty. Hope your plant does well with repotting!

Kathy, so sorry for your ear injury. Hope you are feeling better!!

Bree, Kiri Te Kanawa is a special lady!

Thanks, Janice. I luckily don't seem in terrible pain and I still have the damage under wraps.
Oh, I wish I had a cymbidium in bloom. Sometimes I crave the smell of Golden Elf!!!!

My Golden Elf is spiking again, yippeee

Hmmm. Maybe I should check under the shade cloth. Does yours have scent or is it like Ken's with no scent?

Mine is pretty much scentless.

I wish I could bottle the scent of mine. Or at least send it to you online! I adore it!

Stanhopea oculatta has opened another flush.

Jim

Speaking of a scent, Stanhopea Wardii opened last night and the lanai is filled with the smell of sweet perfume.

Jim

And then along came bulbo Frostii and her cute but stinky slippers.
