So here we are in March!! Amazing how time flies when we're having fun! We came from here: http://cubits.org/orchids/thre... Let's post our orchids!

Cym. Purple Temple, Den. PeeWee x Red River, Catt. Caudebec x Lc. Mem. Robert Strait.



Cym. Eastern Morning 'Shunshoku', Cym. Nut 'Red Beauty', Max. tenuifolia.



Catt. intermedia x Bc. Morning Glory, Epi. stamfordianum, NOID phal.

Bree, that Zygo is sooo cool! and the Vanda blooms are ginormous! I am so in love with all of those

Kathy, is it even possible to take a bad picture of a Cymbidium?
they always look so composed and artistic, it blows me away!

I have a noid Phaius (recvd in a DG trade) that is starting to open..

Oh nice. I can't seem to grow Phaius for any length of time.

About cyms, you are right Lindsey, they are the movie star orchids! Careful spacing and repetitive patterns make them so photogenic.

Here is a cym on the way out.

Den. nemorale and Cym.Beacon Fire 'Cecil Park'.

Beautiful start of the month! Thanks Kathy! And I never argue the beauty of most Cymbidiums.
Nice Phaius, Lindsey!

Isn't it phaius tankervilleae lindsey?



sorry there all the same but the zygo.

They cheer me up so I wanted them on both threads! So Bree, are you coming into a more active bloom time now? Seems like you have blooms all year! My summers are relatively quiet.

Dendrochilum wenzelii in the sun still going strong. Oncidia Charlesworthii 'Mishima' has a new spike. It's been sending them up since the end of summer 2010!! Second flower opening on my NOID phal.

Great start to the March thread. My eye is drawn to the Lc mem. Robert Strait.

My Cattleya maxima is putting on a nice display. Here are a few pics taken over the last couple of days.

Jim

Sexy! Wish mine would bloom again!!

Thanks, Kathy. It's a neat orchid.

This is L. tenebrosa X Blc Chinese Bronce 'Marco Polo'

Jim

Here is Lc Gold Digger. It opened yesterday.

Jim

Update on Lyonara Memoria Doug Lace 'Rosminah' now with two spikes open.

Jim

Jim, looking great! I love the C maxima and the Lc Gold Digger. And I am glad the Lyonara opens so nicely for you. I love the color.
If I may throw in some concern here? I am not happy with the leaf on the L tenebrosa x. I would perhaps isolate the plant, unless you know of a very good possible reason for the circular pattern? (exposure to cold rain drops on a very young leaf, "bug bites", something like that.....)
Very pretty, Bree!
Kathy, I have to talk to my Dendrochilum wenzelii....But then, it is always the last of the Dendrochilums to bloom for me.

Oh my Jim...Cattleya maxima is STUNNING!
and Lyonara Memoria Doug Lace 'Rosminah' is dramatic...really cool!
I've got another noid Phal, that survived the cold overnight soak in the whirlpool tub and the Gerberara 'Snow Ballet'

Your plants look great,Jim. Beautiful colors!
That's a real neat shot of the lip on Gerberara Lindsey.

Bill

Love that phal!! And your photo of Gerberara 'Snow Ballet'.
Great to finally see Lc. Gold Digger since I have several xs of it.
Hope your L. tenebrosa X Blc Chinese Bronce 'Marco Polo' is virus free, Jim. That's surely a beauty.

How did I miss this story about the whirlpool tub? I have a couple of orchids that spent the night on the bottom of my swimming pool. They are doing fine 2 years later.

Ursula, are you leaning toward Cercospora sp. So was I but I see no spotting on the under side of the leaf so now I'm thinking nutritional deficiency. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Jim
