The Blc is a beauty Jim, I love the ones with spots.

Kathy, my cold room would hover in the low forties in the dead of winter and one winter with a particularly long cold snap I had to put in a heat lamp to keep it above 32 F.

Miltoniopsis Gordon Hoyt 'Dolores' FCC/AOS, it has a large bloom with lip slightly more than 3 inches across, and so far only blooms a single bloom at a time that smell like rhubarb.


Paph. (chamberlainianum x Pinocchio) x delenatii


Miltonidium Bartley Schwarz 'Highlander', has a mild pleasant fragrance.

ken is that Paph. delphyllum? see mineyours looks nicer though.
I also have Deperle love delenatii crosses.

Love those Phaphs! They're a new experiment for me. The 4 I have bought in the past year were all in bloom when I got them. They still look healthy...just hope I can get them to bloom again.
Bree, you are the Paph. Queen!

Bree, good looking Paphs!

Ken, very nice and I love the Miltoniopsis! And I don't mind Rhubarb at all.

Not much happening here so it's great to see such pretty faces!

Here's my new excitement! Mexipedium xerophyticum is open at last!

Ohhhhhh!!! It is a wonderful little gem! And more buds to go!

Kathy, the Mexipedium is a cutie.

Bree, this is my Paph (delanatii x moquetteanum) which by "some" would be considered Paph Delophyllum (delenatii x glaucophyllum) and is very similar to yours. Paph. Delophyllum has a little more of a yellow hue in the dorsal sepal than the Paph. (chamberlainianum x Pinocchio) x delenatii cross I posted earlier, but they are quite similar. I find the delenatii crosses to be some of my most reliable bloomers.

Just beautiful Ken.
How many Mex. blooms do you get Ursula?

Kathy, last year it bloomed into Fall/all Summer long. It probably produced ca 10 blooms, it just kept going producing buds. I was amazed. Hopefully we both see it this Summer!

Yes!!!!
Rain rain go away....
My back is still imperfect. Last day at work. Off to nap.

Yep so are Insigne and its crosses (reliable bloomers).
insigne twins
Leeanum

Suk. x Kevins Wine is one of my favourites.

Blc. George King 'serendipity' is still going good.

Here I sit barefoot while everyone else has beautiful slippers. At least I enjoy the show.

We had some rain last night and I hear thunder. Perhaps the rainy season has started at long last.

Jim

Suk. x Kevins Wine is outstanding Bree!!!! Wow!

Jim- we need slippers here, its winter and cold(well for somewhere that doesn't get very cold it is)

And I have a death grip on the air conditioner. Hope I can talk the wife into bringing in the mail.

Jim

All of them are beautiful, Bree!

Just love this Bletilla ochracea. The second one is now in bloom. Many buds to go, too!


I kept this Enc. ionocentra inside to bloom. Should be open any day. It's not for the anticipation thread because I am enjoying the form of every step of it instead of anticipating the flowers.


Some new pics of the Mexipedium xerophyticum. I am in love.

Size compared to my finger.

Wow, everyone has so much in bloom. I cannot even choose favorites this time...there are soooo many. I am envious. I am stressing about all this rain and the effects it is having on my 'chids when they need SUN (and so do I).
