The thread "Our Orchid Blooms in January 2016 Happy New Year" in Orchids forum
Where did that January go?
Another month went by with lots of wonderful posts and good discussions and we are now looking at February. Let me start with some blooms here.
Please join us all.
This teensy Tubecentron Niu Girl opens an ever so tiny spike. I bought it a year ago and I am happy it does ok. This is one of the small Orchids which I keep right above the Fish tanks and it gets watered daily.

This one is another Orchid in the "teensy Department", it is a terrestrial, Cranichis mucosa. It will go dormant during the end of Summer. The individual blooms are in the one to two mm range.

Many of us have a Ludisia discolor in our collection. One usually doesn't keep this one for its blooms, but rather for the pretty leaves, but I just had to shoot a couple of pictures of mine. I haven't done too great with those, but I decided to move this one to Canadian Peat Moss and it seems ok.

This Caulocattleya / Guarthroleya Judy Congdon blooms several times a year, and the blooms last a long time. Under different lights -

I don't take credit for the next two Orchids in bloom, I bought them in spike. I only get credit for not blasting or breaking them? Smiling

And Oeoniella polystachys, I like the pretty blooms very much, hopefully this one does well for me.
