So pretty, Bree. There's no such thing as too much sun in New England in fall. Hilarious! But I do burn leaves. My daughter went to Hawaii and sent me a Miss Joaquim which dried right up and died. I have one terete type now lumping along in the cool room. Hope it makes it to spring...

Bl. Westfieldensis. And I'm excited about this one-Darwinara Charm x Neofinetia falcata Reinbow (could be one of 4 possibilities, probably not the yellow Sad ).

My Max picta is putting on growth, ONLY. I guess I should be happy it isn't croaking.
Fuzzy toilets - as in Pleurothallis cypripedioides?
The Leptotes bicolor look very promising, you should have a show!

Yes, the Pleurothallis cypripedioides. Does that look like buds or growth, Ursula?
Growth is good!

Kathy, I am not sure I look at the correct plant?
Mine has somewhat roundish small leaves and the spikes are on very thin, thread-like stems?

Well, I'd love to try to bloom it (but this one came in bud so I can't take credit)!!!
