Time to start the second half of the month! What fabulous blooms so far. We came from here. http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

Bc. Punakea (C. Lulu x Bc. Maikai) is open. Three more buds to go. Good sized bloom for a Binosa.

Laelia anceps v. alba 'Sterling Dickenson' is opening today.

Blc. Solar Flare 'Paradise' has such a great form. Ctna Why Not x Lc. Gold Digger just glows. Tiny catt flowers with a punch on Slc. Mem. Alvin Begeman 'Poem.'

Funny I thought you'd like Bc. Punakea because of the binosa look.

I do like the Bc. Punakea, it just that I'm waiting for a picture when it opens a little more.
