That's kind of the way I do it. Point & Shoot & Hope.

Bill

heh, I close my eyes and point, shoot, hope....
And bright sunshine certainly isn't the easiest condition to take decent pictures.

Maxillaria tenuifolia glowing in the afternoon light.

O. Sharry baby 'sweet fragrance' finally open...
smells like cocoa butter hand cream i think.

Yum!

Both very pretty!

Well.......what can I say!


Still gobs of blooms on the Epi. stamfordianum ('Belize' x '#1')


Love this phal! It has a flower that's bigger than mini but smaller than the monsters. Max. picta continues.


Bl. Westfieldensis with 2 flowers open now.


Brassanthe Sunny Delight 'MAJ' getting yellower.


I'll put the rest in the mini thread.

Pretty Kathy, well almost...the snow is not so pretty!
Bree, that's a super long spike on your Sharry Baby!

C. luddemannia x sib opened both buds today while I was at work, the flowers are gigantic

Don't you love surprises!!! Just GORGEOUS!!!! I see it's spelled Cattleya lueddemanniana. More info with habitat: http://bit.ly/iecvq9

Kathy, thank you for the fascinating article and the correct spelling...(I am not totally confident in my eyeglass prescription!)
I always have trouble with repeating letters and numbers,is it 2 or 3? I wasn't sure what the author was talking about
when he/she mentioned "But he never mentioned the two small horns (wings) at the apex of the column, which only C. lueddemanniana has."

Lindsey, the C. lueddemanniana is gorgeous!

Kathy, your blooms are lovely, but the winter scene is disgusting,
We had some white slush here this morning, but it is gone now.

Not here. We need some HEAT to get rid of it.

Lindsey, see if you can peek inside and see horns. Here's the anatomy pic posted previously.

Lindsey, I love the C. luddemannia x. It reminds me of my C maxima. They just told me the orchid club meeting has been cancelled and I was set to submit 5 orchids for judging. Not fair!

we'd love to see a photo of them orchids jim.

Yes indeedy!

Love the red area on the backs of Bl. Westfieldensis.

Jim, I'm sure the manager/owner of this cubit is certified to bestow show ribbons. so put your
plants here and lets see what you've got!

There you go, Kathy! You can jump on photoshop and make up ribbons to award. You've got nothing better to do....right???
