Wow, what great blooms everyone has! Welcome Tarev! I really love the Miltassia...unusual colors. I also Darwinara Walnut Valley x Ascda Blue Sky, Ursula, and Bollopetalum Midnight Blue 'Cardinal's Roost' is also a fav. Hearthrob is just incredible and I also love the Apricot Glow...so many beautiful orchids. It almost makes one dizzy.

Great looking plants Jim. I see the roots of Heartthrob are wearing out the grass as they swing in the breeze. Rolling on the floor laughing My recommendation for those lovely Miltoniopsis like yours Jim, is good quality water and very weak fertilizer as their roots are very sensitive to salts.

Bree, I am still impressed with your spotty vanda.

Thanks, Ken. They seem to be very sensitive to our rainy season as well. Now that the lanai will be under solid roof, I thought I would give it another go.

Bree, I am so in love with that spotty vanda! I have a few plants in the vanda family,
they are growing and seem happy, but I am waiting for some dramatic results before
I acquire any more...but the first one I get is going to be something like yours!
