Todd, aren't the Psychopsis great, once they start blooming they just keep on with little breaks between blooms.

Epidendrum ciliare, does not put on that big a display from a distance, up close is quite intricate, but in the evening emits enough of it's pleasing aroma to fill a large room

Oncostele Midnight Miracles 'Moonless Pacific' formally Odontoglosssum, has a mild pleasant spicy scent with a hint of musk.

At work, my Psychopsis is blooming again.

Todd- did you know these re-bloom on old spikes? Has it happened for you? I read on the net a lady that had one with 5 spikes, 2 she'd had on it for 4 years??

Thanks, Janice. I just noticed that Brassavola David Sander is back with a new bloom that opened today and at least two more buds are coming on. This is one great orchid.

Gosh, my David Sander should bloom by now. It was a tiny baby in 2004, but by now it has grown into a decent size plant. You do so well with yours, Jim! Thumbs up
Very nice show and I love the pink Vanda!

Beautiful Jim! I just hope my Brass. cuculata will bloom someday. Like the vandas they like more humidity than I can provide, but my cousin (same conditions) has one in bloom. Zone envy going on here! I only have 1 Den. blooming. The rest are looking good, but no signs of blooming. Confused
