time for a new thread - we came from here
http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

I was walking past my Polystachya paniculata and it just looked so interesting from the top down, I had to take some more pictures.


I have been taking "progress-pictures" of my Leptotes bicolor, trying to catch as many blooms open at the same time as possible. There are more buds in the works, but now the oldest blooms are declining. This year I had moved the plant in full bud to a more protected location. It seems to work, the blooms are much longer lived.


Bulbophyllum levanae 'Waterfield' opened a second spike


Trichopilia Suave Margins shows off another set of blooms


Dendrobium hercoglossum is a real charmer I think. I love the delicate pink blossoms which just keep coming.

Thanks for the new thread. Can you stick in a link to the previous thread for continuity?

I love those artsy shots of Polystachya paniculata-truly an amazing orchid! Bravo on your successful Leptotes. It look terrific!! An elegant bulbo; love the pic of the whole plant and its wave-like form. And that third photo of Trichopilia Suave Margins looks like a watercolor.

How do you grow Den. hercoglossum? Does it need a winter cool rest? I am really doing badly with the cane types lately.

Oh ursula, I hope my Trichopilia will some day look that good!
Looked at the den today, but had to make choices.

No problem and the link is in place!
and thanks.
Kathy, the Den hercoglossum was a Christmas present, so I don't have it that long. I watered it along daily with my stuff and - since it really wanted to grow pendant I placed it into the basket and into full sun near the door.
Looking at this
http://www.orchidspecies.com/d...
it seems to need less water and fertilizer in Winter, but mine was actively growing right away, so I watered.

I just posted some interesting ( I think) stuff into the miniature section

Check out the mounted Angraecum on an Oyster shell!

Carol, it surely will!

All lovely, Ursula. I love the Bulbo but you probably figured that. I looks like you are growing the Trichopilia Suave Margins in a tree fern pot. I've used a few of them with great success so glad to see I'm not alone. That flower is to die for by the way.

Jim

Thanks Jim! Yes, I have a few Orchids in Tree fern pots. The Suave Margins frilly blooms remind me of a very pretty girly dress.

My salmon epi from NYBG.

Wonderful bloom and great photo, Kathy.

Jim

Thanks Jim!

I love the color on this Epi. Nice camera angle!

the Den. hercoglossum, the way it hangs is just fabulous!

Ursula, great display on Leptotes bicolor and Trichopilia Suave Margins is a show off, deservedly so.

The color of your Epi is very comfortable on the eye Kathy.

Thanks Ken!
Finally a first bloom on Brassavola cucullata! Worth the wait!


Others.

What is the lavender one in the second row under "others"? Definately different!

Catt. Easter Bunny yet again.

Wow! It's changed a lot! I don't remember the form being so unusual. Perhaps the photo angles... perhaps senility?

different light! It is nice!

Very nice Kathy, I think some of your orchids are blushing.
