Today's pics:
Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi' and V. lilacina x Aer. houlletiana in the shade.

Phrag Carol Kanzer, Enc. alata with strong scent, Blc Waikiki Gold ' Lea' x L briegeri 'Star of Brazil' without the rose lip.

Den Maiden Charlotte

The Perreiraara has a surprise!

Are these both Restrepia striata? They don't say so....

Lc. Luna (tall girl)

Nice show Kathy! I especially like the Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi'

Very nice bloomers, Kathy. I especially like Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi'.

Too bad Ascda. Susan Ong doesn't make keikis!! I could get rich!

Are we going to go toan Oct. thread, or wait till this one gets long ?

Thanks Carol! I just split the thread to start October! Duh! I simply forgot to start. Where is Todd anyway?? He keeps me honest!

Very nice looking plants Kathy. I see a seed pod on Enc. alata and Tall Girl certainly stands up too it's name.

Hey, just wait till you've been retired for a few years...I have to look at the computer to know what day of the week it is!
Todd may be under water by now! From what I see on the news, the East coast is getting hammered by storm, while out here, we're getting warnings about lightening...we MAY get up to 1 inch of rain this week in some areas. At my house, we haven't gotten any measurable amount. I love to hear the thunder though. It sure beats the Disneyland fire works and the planes at John Wayne airport!

We got 20 inches of rain this week in eastern NC..after virtually none since last winter.

That storm had the opposite effect here. It sucked the moisture out of the air and dropped the humidity by 20 percent. It is very pleasant now but highs are still near 90.

The first three pics are the Orchids i bought last weekend, now fully open.

Blc. Erin Kobayashi X C. stono river opened all three buds at once (try to ignore the messy porch rail)

I really like Alcra. Hilo blaze 'Hof'. 4 1/2 " flowers

and Ocdm. wildcat 'bloodshot'

Zygo. redvale 'fire kiss

and Ansellia africana with two nicely branched spikes seems to be in it's happy place

Wonderful show!!! Interesting zygo, wish ansellias weren't so big! Hilo Blaze is very uplifting and the pink edges are gorgeous on the catt. Is it big or a mini (hard to tell). As far as the messy rail, those hummers are worth the mess! Your collection is growing Carol! How many orchids do you think you have now?

Beautiful Carol,
You captured the Hilo Blaze colors really well! And wildcat Bloodshot is so rich and deep, gorgeous !

New voting booth. http://cubits.org/orchids/voti...

Kathy, the Blc. is a compact (?). The whole plant is in a 6" pot, for perspectiveand it's getting a new sheath too...

Very nice, Carol. I love the Hilo Blaze 'Hot'.

I read in the paper that the Sun Coast Orchid Society was having a show and sale today so after church I headed down to Largo. There was a beautiful vanda there but they wanted $90.00 so I let it pass. Four of the little orphans did follow me home however. Here is Potinara Hoku Gem "Freckles" (Bl Richard Meuller X Slc Tangerine Jewel).

Jim

The second one that hitched a ride home with me is Blc Hawallan Leopard 'Mai Ling' (Blc Walanae Leopard X Bc Richard Mueller).

Jim

The third one in the basket was Brassolaelia Memoria Bernice Foster (Bl Richard Meuller X subulifolia).

Jim

And then there was my favorite Lc Warneri purpurata 'Brazilian' X B nodosa.

Jim

Nice haul Jim! You're really into those speckles today, aren't you? love that Lc. purpurata!
