The photos never look as good as the flower. I love this one, big flower on a compact plant and flowers smell like red roses..defenatly a keeper.

Well, we can imagine it being even more beautiful than those great pics!! Love that Vanda color too!
What a great color combo they make together, Lindsey! I can see the laelia Lovey dubby influence in Lc. Ken Battle 'Gold Crown'!

Love them all but the Lc Ken Battle is outstanding in both form and color.

I agree, Kathy, the vanda color is special.

The Stelis kept falling over and breaking spikes so I was shocked that it looks this full. It really took off. Not a single spike when I bought it at J & L. It either was it's time or it likes my warm room. We'll find out next year! The Masd. decumana flower is good sized, about an inch and a half without counting the pointy parts.

My Max tenuifolia looks fine, but this year I don't see a hint of buds yet, hmm. The Oerstedella tetraceros blooms keep on improving as they mature, very nice!

I was expecting your Oerstedella so I was disappointed. But then it reminded me of my scale ridden encyclias that I love, so I love it now.

Great show, Kathy. I agree with Lindsey in loving the Den. Peewee x Red River.

Lindsey, nice color on the phal.

This is a pic of the now more mature Schomburgkia against the Florida sky.
