It has been monsoon season here. Finally the rain let up enough for me to bring the plants into the studio. I'm having some nice blooms this year even with the stress from the move.

Rhynchostylis coelestis (blue lip). I picked up two of these at Tamiami and boy are they blooming like gangbusters.

Dyakia hendersoniana blooming on both spikes simultaneously..finally!


Vandachostylis Veeraphol. Blooms are a bit faded, but I like the color.

An awarded division from Motes. Don't have the tag on me at the moment. The bumble bees have been having some orchid sex. I see a seed pod back there.

Vandaenopsis Prapin. I have been having a devil of a time trying to get this one to bloom. It likes more shade.

Papilionanda Patricia Low graces my deck in full sun. Blooms last for months.

Renanthera Kalsom is segregated from all others. You can see the Fusarium in the wrinkled leaves. I'm trying to save it, but the jury is still out. It stays on my deck all by its lonesome.
