hilo jewel keeps forming spikes and they dry up and die, think its in to much sun. defenatly not low humidity. Smells yum like sherbet..

last flowering

Long spike on Oncidium sharry baby 'sweet fragrance'
bet it takes forever to open.

I love this thread, I get so excited!! Steven congratulations!!!!
My Chiloscista and Aerangis distinchum's spikes dried up too. Would love to know what it means. Too much light??? Mine were humid too.

Bree, nice spikes. About the Hilo Jewel, does the plant have a good root system to support the spike. Or was the temperature too low perhaps? I hope it makes it next time, it's pretty!

Kathy, I don't think those two are easy bloomers! My Chiloschista lunifera didn't even spike this year.

Bree, your orchids are gorgeous! I love that spike on your Oncidium, would love to get one like that.

Thanks Kathy and Ursula!

Another spike on the Chiloschista!!!

Lots of phals in spike. The first is parishii.

Mormolyca ringens.

I thought this Oncidia Charlesworthii 'Mishima' was ending. I lopped off the first spike but a few bottom flowers bloomed in the fall. Then a new spike grew and bloomed and then a third (first pic). Today I found a fourth spike!!

A new Den. tetragonam var. Hayesianum x self from Paramount Orchids in Canada. Sposta be white/green!! http://www.paramountorchids.co...

Only one bud on B. Little Stars.

Ctna. Why Not x Lc. Gold Digger.

VERY excited about this mini Dendrochilum parvulum 'Golden Gate' in a 2" pot with lots of spikes!!!

The Chiloschista loves you!

I have it facing away from the sun this time. We will see!

This NOID cym has 5 spikes!!!! :hurray:

I think this Blc. Solar Flare 'Paradise'

And I can't remember who this is and I'm too lazy to go downstairs to check.

I think you got the Cymbidium thing down-pat!

Many to go but I'm a larnin'!

My Blc China Lin is about to bloom for the second time this year. What a great orchid!

Jim

I took a good look at my digbyana and counted 8 fat bloom shafts.

Jim

This is C. Tiffin Bell X Blc Edward McDonald. I can't remember this one blooming before but it has been sitting there for ages. I need to go check my archives.

Jim

Finally, I noticed Dendrobium spectable is in spike.

Jim

Wow!! Cool beans. Can't wait to see them all!

Jim, they all look just great. I am glad they all made it nicely through the "different growing areas"! Btw pssst it is Chia Lin... I am definitely jealous that you get a second blooming out of this plant!

Jim, if I didn't know better I would say that your plants have actually enjoyed this winters weather and
their multiple trips to the garage!

I was secretly thinking the same. They must like all the fuss!


Here's one of the only bulbos (Bulbo biflorum) I have bloomed in all these years. So glad I got another after I lost the first.

Wow, Jim! Looks like it was worth all the work and stress!
