Great display, Ursula! I love the fierce little faces on Baptistonia echinata.

They have little fangs, don't they?

It must be the bottom fangs!! Love the colorful mini catt collection! Love Lc. Mini Purple 'Shibuya' and Vanda Martha Ragan!
Ursula, my Den. kingianum var. silcokii looks different. It's mostly white and not in bloom right now :(
Here's last year.

Thanks Kathy. Looks like I have a mislabeled Den king. Good thing is, I like the shading on this one very much.
Actually, I like them all.

Looks very much like the Den. kingianum from SBOE.

Ursula, that 'Shibuya' is wonderful. I too am smitten.

Bill

I hope Suwada/the vendor selling the 'Shibuya' and other goodies comes back this year. He made his first appearance last Summer at the Orchid Fest held at Silvas.

I think I bought my Cym. goeringii Mebina from them.

Here's Masd. Angel Fling. I picked this last month at J&L. I really like these Masdies.



And here's a mini Phal, whose name escapes me at the moment.(That happens more and more )


Bill

I can see why you like the Masdies, Bill. That one is a beauty.

Jim

Thanks, Jim. The point & shoot camera I have doesn't really show it to it's best effect.

Bill

My camera has trouble getting orange. It makes orange yellow. So is that a golden yellow or an orange, Bill?
I love my Masdies too!!

Great looking plants Ursula. I can't imaging any insect being brave enough to enter the bloom of Baptistonia echinata with fangs like that. love the group shot.

Bill, good looking Masdevallia and mini Phal.

Back lit Paphinia Majestic and close up showing that it didn't shave today.


Phal Brother Goldsmith, showing minor variations in intensity of veining caused by light conditions. The first 2 blooms (lighter veining) were facing sun while they opened and the second picture the 2 blooms (darker veining) were facing away from sun.

Both gorgeous!!! But that Paphinia Majestic is breath taking!!!

Ken, I agree with Kathy. The Paphina Majestic is very special. Good growing!

Here is Ctna Maui Maid X Mcp Brysiana. Lots of Schomburgkia in this plant as the spikes are 5 feet long.

Jim

Update on Lyonara Memoria Doug Lace 'Rosminah' now with three blooms open.

Jim

Wonderful, Jim! I'd love to see that 5' spike too!

I've showed it before but here it is again, complete with a yard stick.

Jim

Oh yes! Now I remember. I think it's a good idea to re-post relevant info and photos because 1) I have no memory! and 2) new people are joining and lurking and may not be following the whole thread. So don't worry about redundancy.

Thanks.

Bill, nice Masdie!

Ken, I love the Paphinia Majestic, I really need to pick one up again! I killed one some years ago....

Jim, looking good on both Schom xs! Pretty blooms on the Ctna Maui Maid X Mcp Brysiana too.
