Great looking plants Ursula, the gold of Stanhopea connata is a real knockout.

Lindsey, I love your variation of Wilsonara Koibri.

Wow Kathy, good looking plants, of course the new Red Asocenda is special in my heart and the Miltonia Anne Warne stands out as well.

Good looking catt Jim, great to have the old reliables continue to preform.

Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'JEM' is one of those rich dark burgundies that is so hard to capture the proper color in a digital photo.

Good start to this thread, Kathy. Being a Brassavola guy, I really like Bl. Westfieldensis. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Nice contrast photos, Ken. It was Kathy's pictures from a few years ago that sent me out looking for my Peggy Ruth.

Another floofer opened last night. This is Lc Irene's Song (Montclair) X Mari's Song X Irene Finney.
