wow carol love that Lc.!
Heres the paphs i have blooming inside at the moment....
Newest open is Deperle (i think it is).

Bree, I love the purple Catt x, nice color and shape!! You always have some nice Paphs in bloom!

Carol , what a cool Coelogyne, the hairy lip is awesome! And I like the splashes on the 'Panda' very much!
About taking pictures of the Coelogynes - I try to shoot into the flower from a lower angle/tilt the pot. Sometimes you get a good piccie of the lip that way.

Bree, I hope I can someday grow just one Paph to bloom...your's are beautiful!
Carol, 'Panda' is adorable! Coelogyne barbata is certainly exotic!

Thanks,all!
Bree, I love all of your paphs! I hope I can keep the one I bought alive.
Actually, I haven't seen an orchid posted on here that I'd say no to...they're all great!

Ursula, thanks for the tip on photographing the down facing flowers. My biggest problem is finding the right light without all the clutter in the background, and no breeze.

Ursula, your Potinara Hoku Gem is so delectable! You are a master!
Carol, love your Panda!
Bree, those are just gorgeous Paphs!! Deperle is so special.

Such great shows!! Don't forget to add some of these to the database!!!
Today here.
Tuberolabium quisumbingii has two flowers open and such a wonderful almond scent. There's a new spike forming on the other side.

The trias nasuta has opened. But it's not nasuta!! Could be cambodiana http://www.orchidspecies.com/t... or nummularia http://www.orchidspecies.com/t...
What do you think???

Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi's first spike is open and there's a second in process.

Sl. Pole Star 'Santa Barbara' today.

Blc. Memorial Vida Lee 'Limelight.'

Last flower on Miltonia Anne Warne which has been blooming since early summer on 3 spikes.

Beautiful!
About the Trias - I am clueless....but I am smitten with the Sl. Pole Star 'Santa Barbara'

Love that 'Santa Barbara' !

Jeeze, what a lot of flowers. How can anyone keep up?

Just a quick question: is this all sunburn?



and my bloomers on a rack

Fred, the Bloomers look great!!!
And yes - it looks like sunburn....

how deadly is sunburn? Do I just leave the burned plants alone?

Funny, the lanai screen prevented sunburn but as soon as I put them outside of the lanai in October. Bang - they burn. You have to be so careful not to disturb the environment they are used to.

Gorgeous, Kathy! Especially like the lovely 'Limelight'.
Fred, you have a vision to behold going there! Great show!

Fred, that can happen to me even here in New England. I leave the leaves alone for a while especially if it's spots but if they are really damaged I trim or cut them off. I did a big trim on the cyms before they came onto the porch this year. Lots of sunburn even with a shade cloth!!! I also pulled off dead leaves around the pseudobulbs on them so I can see if they are growing spikes as soon as they emerge.

I would leave the sunburned leaves alone since they are still functioning. I have a few sunburned plants too.

Yeah, it confronts a grower to leave them on staring at you saying, "You bumbling idiot! Look what you did to my lovely leaves." Just tell the plant, "Shhhhh!"

My Trias has a green lip which has a moving part like the bulbos. Guess it's part of the Bulbo alliance.

Wow nice fred, looks like a nice verandah set up with the pool and waterfall. oh and love the flowers. hehe!
I'd leave the sunburnt leaves on your orchids and put up shadecloth. If your orchids are use to being inside then you put them out yes they will burn, you have to gradually higher the light and get them use to it. Dont think that sunburn will kill them or anything though.

Ursula, that Potinara Hoku Gem is wonderful!
Kathy, great show. I looked for Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi's' at the last orchid sale I went to and none of the venders had heard of it. Looks like I may not find it.
Todd, what a joy to see all of those wonder slippers. Have a safe but interesting trip.

Jim

Of course I have no idea where I got it!!

So many eye-catchers! Asda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi' and Blc Dennis Kone 'Lakeview' AM/AOS are both stunning. And I love all the paphs.

My Paph Hybird (Satin Veil 'Butterscotch' x Stone Lovely 'Butterpuff' is almost opened now. Very short little guy.
