Thanks, Ursula.

Kathy, I agree with you on reposting when it sheds light on the subject. I just remember they used to yell at me about it back on DG so I try to avoid it. I'm off to church.

Jim

Hey, I'm in charge here!! So go wild! As you see, I post multiples of flowers as I get better, more representative pics. I've never been very good at holding back till they are perfect. I get so excited over the first blooms!

so here I am posting another picture of Blc. Zul. 'Waiomao Fantasy' in different
lighting , trying to more accurately capture the colors.

Ah, that's sooo pretty.

Ken, Love that Paphinia!

Jim, Ctna Maui maid x is beautiful!

Lindsey, that's closer to the color of mine. It's all about lighting...

Today's pics.
Blc. Solar Flare 'Paradise' continues to wow. Pot. Free Spirit 'Miami Sun's last flower. My happy Maxillaria tenuifolia with many buds open.


First photo shoot of Epi. stamfordianum. I took a million pics.



Catt. Caudebec x Lc. Mem. Robert Strait with both blooms open.


Bc. Punakea with all 4 flowers open.

Eye candy!

All are beautiful, Kathy. I really like Catt. Caudebec x Lc. Mem. Robert Strait.

Jim

I'm loving the Bc. Punakea, such a hot hot hot color!
Carol, that's what I love about your flowers...that hot pink lip, on mine it's a muddy kind of color.
Jim, Ctna Maui Maid X Mcp Brysiana is another one with that hot hot hot color. I'm lovin all of em!

Glad you like! Lindsey, Bc. Punakea darkened with age but it softens in certain light (look at my first pic at the beginning of the thread), but mostly it reads as a strong color.

Beautiful show, Kathy! Love the Cym!
Do you give your maxi really bright light? I have a pot full of pbs and leaves, but only got 1 flower last fall.

Thanks all, it's too bad the blooms of the Paphina are so short lived (7 to 10 days), but it has been a regular bloomer.

Jim, love the color of Ctna Maui Maid X Mcp Brysiana.

Kathy, fantastic display from Epi. stamfordianum and I am really smitten with Bc. Punakea

Thanks Ken!

Good thing tomorrow is March 1, this February thread has gotten too long.

What is a good length for you, Donna?

No problem for me, but there's probably some others out there that don't have a fast Internet service. My scrolling finger just gets tired. I love all the wonderful photos, cause I am so tired of winter this year! I got a pretty little light yellow Phalaenopsis for my birthday, but my camera just won't catch the color right, so I won't post it. I love the fact that we can post more than one photo at a time, and add a label to each photo. Dave's done a wonderful job. And I might add, all of you do a great job of explaining orchid culture to those of us that hang out here. THANKS!

Donna, you are in good company, we don't always get the shade correctly either, so we get to try several times....

Edited because I went off topic....

I'm dying to post but am waiting for the March thread. Kathy, oh Kathy........
