Had a few surprises today.
Slc. Mem. Alvin Begeman 'Poem' opened a bloom. Unfortunately it had lots of scale under the pseudobulb covers so I've sprayed it with the Bayers. But I think I will repot it fairly soon so I can get the bottom of the pseudobulbs.

I broke the top of the spike off this Oncidia Charlesworthii 'Mishima' but it had a few buds left. It's starting to open and now it's sending out another full spike. I assume I am being rewarded for some nice thing I must have done for someone!! I hope!

Coelogyne Gold Bug is right behind Ursula's.

Not sure what's going on with this Catt. The buds seem floppy. I was excited that I have 4 buds. Hope they are okay! We'll see!

The usual suspects.

Good looking plants Ursula, the Vanda family blooms are gorgeous.

Another great show Kathy, Phrag Memoria Estelle Getty is a knockout and Oncidia Charlesworthii 'Mishima' is a keeper, it's hard to keep a good plant down.

Lc Summer Camp 'Eureka' is a large plant with better than 6 in tall blooms that smell heavenly.

Odontioda Stirbic ‘65119’, a first time bloomer that has some nice crimson red color.

Wonderful show, Kathy. Coelogne Golden Bug
and the dendrobium tetragonum are fantastic. Also, I always love seeing slippers.

I went to a small orchid show/ sale at the botanical gardens this morning. As I walked among the usuall fair, something caught my eye. This is what I saw:

So, I looked closer:

The tag read V. Sanderiana, var. alba. The price was steep but I hadn't bought anything else so I went for it.

Thanks all. When I saw that orchid, I knew it was special. Of course, so did the vender. At the end of the day, I'm happy I bought it.

My noid Orchid which looks a lot like Lc Irene Finney but opens every year like clockwork around the 20. of October, ( for almost 20 years) is now fully open. (Lc Irene Finney is a Spring bloomer)
5 full spikes this year, the blooms are beautifully fragrant.
It is one of my very favorites!
