That should be enjoyable!

Took the camera around today -
Ctna Why Not
I was standing on a ladder, trying to shoot the picture across and over the Vandas, since this one is sitting right under the ceiling glass for maximum sun.

I am having a hard time getting good pictures of the really nice spike on my Renanthera Nancy Chandler 'Red Dragon'. It is also blooming right under the glass and providing a streaking red over the mini Catts and Laelias.

Vanda David Gardner is progressing nicely

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' keeps on flowering

Dendrobium tenellum has a couple of tiny blooms every so often. I like the fat round pseudobulbs.

One more shot of the Vanda Sansai Blue in early afternoon light.

And I posted a few plants into the mini section....

I've never done well with Why Not (had it twice). Dorothy, I'm not in Jamaica anymore!! :rofl:
Actually I suddenly lost my N Chandler too and never knew why. Luckily it bloomed before it died. And then there were the psychopses! I should be reminiscing on the Off to Heaven thread!!
Dendrobium tenellum is wonderful with those great pseudobulbs.

I love the Vanda David Garder, great color. Sansi Blue is a classic.

Kathy, Catt Minerva is wonderful!

Thanks Jim. I've had it for years and gave one to David Walker (it came frozen from SBOE and they sent a second, though both lived). Now I wish I could have given the second one to all of you!!

Thanks!

Bree, pretty Zygo! The scent is a bonus!

Kathy, full sun year around on the Ctna Why Not! That's the only way this one grows/flowers for me.
