Got some stuff blooming here this week -
This is my second plant of Aerangis biloba, it is growing on a mount and its blooms are not quite as round and nice as those on my other plant, but it does fine and blooms a bit more reliably.

Bulbophyllum alagense, small form is an ultra small mini creeper. It fell off the mount this Summer and is now happily growing into a Coconut mat. If you look closely you will see the tiny beak-like blooms. The lens cap is 52 mm in diameter, so this is actually a huge clump of plants. The whole things measures about 12 x 12 inches.

Miltassia Charles M. Fitch 'Izumi' has a nice spike this season. I don't like to grow that many plants of this type of hybrid, since they turn in my hands into huge "Cabbages". I cut this one down/apart a couple of years ago and just kept a small division.

The Rajasthani fellow is very practical for taking pictures, just park it on its head.
