Albert,
I was half way through your ghost orchid post. Being a newby, I had no idea what a ghost orchid was, and was thinking to myself that I had better google it, then found your links. Thanks. It is so nice to have someone select good links rather than do the google thing and get one good page for every 10 duds.

Interesting. Good luck.

Has anyone seen the movie Titled "Adaptation" starring Nicholas Cage ?? Although the story is not entirely about orchids, the Ghost Orchid plays a big part.

Yup but thanks for posting!

My bletilla's really close.

Oh yes!

I think mine bit the dust!

Getting closer. A surprise spike on Calanthe sieboldii Takane Hybrid! Unfortunately nothing is happening next door with Calanthe x Kozu.

The Takane looks promising!

Especially since it's been poised since November and popped open this week!

one of the bletilla's many joys is the length of time that they bloom, mine are
still going and I think it's been almost a month!

Didn't remember that!

A couple of the plants that came from H & R have got bud action!
Lc. Aussie Sunset 'Cosmic Fire' and Bc. Hawaiian Leopard 'Mei-Ling' AM/AOS



this may or may not be Pot. Burana Beauty 'Burana' HCC/AOS

Great buds. Can't wait to seee them!!!

Looking good!

tarev said:Got this two orchids which were thriving before and then suddenly seemed to decline, not doing anything, so I tried to repot and attempt semi-hydro method.

I find the Antelope dendrobium hated the semi-hydro or maybe I did something wrong, so I just maintained it still in the hydroton rocks and some styro peanuts, but no water under it, and it is now making a comeback.


This Grammatophyllum Scriptum "Hihimanu", really had a grand decline, from 3 pseudobulbs with leaves, now I am down to this one wrinkled one. But somehow it is responding to the semi-hydro method, and is now showing some sign of growth.


It somehow shows a good fighting spirit for these orchids. I hope they really do make it!!

Just wanted to show how the Antelope dendrobium is doing right now, took this photo today 27May2011.....hoping this is really a flower spike getting longer and longer
