We came from here
The thread "Our Orchid blooms in December 2015" in Orchids forum

We had a wonderful year sharing pictures and stories of our Orchids here with friends and lots of newcomers, who then rapidly turned into friends. Smiling There were many excellent discussions and lots of shared information.
And now we raise our glasses to a toast:
Happy New Year!πŸΎπŸŽ‰
Let me start with my Brassavola Little Stars, it wasn't easy to wait until almost all buds were open. But, when I saw the many spikes this year, I knew it was going to put on a nice Show, so, I waited on this one.

Cattleya percivaliana 'Summit' opened three spikes, right on schedule, it always blooms around Christmas.

My noid Cattleya is almost done opening, but the first blooms are starting to droop.

I waited for days to get some sunshine to get a nice picture of Laelia autumnalis v. atrorubens. I missed the five minutes of sun today. Tomorrow seems to be the beginning of a whole row of sunny days. Here is the spike anyway!

And this Dendrobium kingianum stayed outside until frost this year again and has lots of buds. I keep it right at the greenhouse entrance, the scent is great when you walk in.

Ok. That's it! Smiling
Please all join in and post away!
