We came from here. http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...
Todays pics. Truer color!

Catt. Minerva opened too. Unfortunately I clocked another spike and knocked it clean off. But there is another growing!!

Phrag. La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D. Turner is opening but has a distorted first bloom.

Dichea neglecta has a flower open too.

Looking good, Kathy.

I need to post the orchids I brought back from Apopka last Tuesday. I'll post the bloomers here and the others on the "I just bought" thread.

The is Blc Yen 24 Carat. I've also seen it spelled Karat.

This is a MIltassia but the name is missing. I got it for $5.00 so I wasn't too picky.

Pretty Blc. and Miltassa, Jim. I don't think I would call the Bulbo "pretty", but it sure has character.

Just got a note from Laurel who thinks theat Miltassia may be Degarmoara Skywalker 'Red Star' HCC/AOS. What do you think?

Lc Trick or Treat 'Orange Rock' x Blc Wainae King 'Orchidheights'. Have 2 of these and they differ. The second has no pink on the lip.

Slc Mae Hawkins 'Miya' .Beautiful strong scent. Very difficult to capture the true color. It is darker and more intense than this. I shall keep trying.

Janice, all three are lovely. I guess those two are siblings of the same x. Keep trying on the red color. I shoot from many directions and in different lighting conditions when I'm working on getting true color. It also may be the limitations of your camera.
