Kathy, great contribution to Floofuary orchids!
Ursula, nice show. Love the yellow paph as well as the dendrobium.

We drove back from Atlanta on Sunday and traffic was terrible. It took us 9 hours. On the plus side, we had a wonderful time. Laurel is a great cook and they were perfect hosts. I'll be posting pics from the orchid house at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They also took me to a huge farmer's market which was delightful. Just for fun, here is a picture taken in front of their house as we were leaving.

After 4 days away, I took a walk around the lanai today to see what was new or perhaps more mature. This is Blc Goldenzeile 'Frank Smith'. The flower is huge.

OK, we decided the pool background was best for this purple vanda and I managed to bend the wires out of the way. So, here is Vanda Princess Blue X Kasem's Delight. Very large flowers for a vanda. Not bad for a ten dollar bill in Apopka.

Oh how I'd love to go there! Nice shots, Jim. Lc Irene's Song X Lc Mari's Song X Lc Irene Finney is like a circus! Frank Smith is definitely high on the floofy scale!

Geeze Bree, they are spectacular! I have a few Paph plants but all they are doing is sending up leaves

I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong !

Bree, showy Paph display!!

So, there is a flock of birds, a gaggle of geese - what would you call a group of blooming Paphs?

Lindsey, growing leaves is fine too! Sooner or later they will flower! You are probably not doing anything wrong.

I have felt like a paph failure for years but I see 2 spikes now!! Just skip the part where you beat yourself up and watch out of the corner of your eye.
