Thanks for all the nice comments folks! The last picture is Epc. Middleburg 'MAJ' AM/AOS with Lc. Aussie Sunset 'Cosmic Fire"
Ursula, I was deleting all the spaces trying to get the pictures in a horizontal row and deleted part of the last picture, but then
couldn't figure out how to get the rest of it gone...so I just added it again but left the remains of the previous attempt.
The picture of 'Burgundy Bliss'..the light was fairly bright in the greenhouse, but those colors on the flowers in the foreground are
pretty close to real life..the flower on the far right is both in the shade and is just opening up, so it looks a smidge darker than the
others.
Your 2 Catts....'Sendai' and schilleriana are beautiful! It's always nice to have a fragrant one..!
and the Spathoglottis has a nice bright yellow! Very nice.
About the C. schilleriana ( thanks) I grow it all Winter next to the Cacti on the top shelf, right under the ceiling. It is bare root so I water it pretty much every day.
Jim, it would do well for you next to your "sunny Orchids" in your OC.
Dendrobium aggregatum opened 6 spikes this year. We brought the plant downstairs so we could enjoy it in the evening.
And my Schomburgkia superbiens v. alba was given to me as a gift/ a cutting in the Spring of 2009. Last year 2 spikes aborted, but this year 2 new growths managed to grow 5 foot spikes. Here is the first one in bloom.
see if you can find the spikes....
Already awake and gone off to church. I've just returned and am off to an Indonesian party. It's a good chance to practice my language skills. It's been a long time since I lived there.

I can see why Lc George Baldwin X C Trithena is one of your favorites...it's a beauty!
Nice picture of the supermoon...we had severe thunderstorms here in E NC..we needed
the rain, but it would have been nice to see the moon.
I decided on a salmon burger for lunch and while the grill was heating up I took some pics of the bloomers in the OC. Some of these orchids you have seen before but are worth another look and some are new bloomers or at least have new spikes. All the pictures are from today.
I'll start with Enc. atropene, var. alba 'Jim' X Bepi. Bradly's Judy 'Spots'.
Rhyncholaelia digbyana. It's hard not to call her a Brassavola.
Encyclia cordigera, var. rosea.
Bollopetalum Midnight Blue 'Cardinal's Roost' put out a new spike.
Psychopsis Mendenhall alba 'Yellow Butterfly'
Cattleya maxima continues.
B. nodosa X C. netrasiri.
Blc Hawallan Leopard 'Mai Ling'.
C. lueddemanniana, var. alba X self.
Miltassia Aztec Toni.
Lc Prism Palette X (Gaiety Flambeau X MECarter) X walkeriana. Type that out a few times just for fun.
Lc George Baldwin X C Trithena again. I love the color and form of this orchid.
Blc. Golden Tang. The first pic is a new spike and the second is of older flowers.
Epc. Rene Marques 'Tyler'.
This is a Tolumnia or perhaps a little oncidium from Apopka. NOID on this one.
There are always a few Phals in bloom.
Encyclia 'Green Hornet' which is always in bloom.
The big Grammatophylum scriptum.
This is L.tenebrosa X Blc Chinese Bronce 'Marco Polo'.
Vanda Manuvadee X V. Coerulea.
And finally, one NOID Dendrobium that takes a mean picture.
There you have it, the OC bloomers as of the moment.
