Coelogyne Memoria Sadako opened another bud, and this time I include a picture of the small plant.
Lc Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' shows some blooms. This one needs absolutely full sun year around here in NJ to do reasonably well.
One of my gorgeous Christmas presents opened this week - Lc Breen's Jenny Ann 'Cheng Min' FCC/AOS, a real beauty. This needs another picture in different light for sure in a couple of days.
The pink shade on my L alaorii x Lc Minipurple v. coerulea deepened a bit more as the blooms matured.
Cattleya loddigesii 'Shorty' x C. walkeriana 'The Chairman' AM/AOS - picked up from Cal Orchids and it seems to be (in my hands) a lot easier to grow and bloom than C. loddigesii ( at least the one I used to have and tossed) and the blooms are nice, large and clean.
Ascda Fuchs Joy is blooming now again
And there is the tentatively identified Lc Irene Finney X which might be Lc Miss Wonderful - the first of 2 spikes
Last Summer at the Silva Orchid Fest Oak Hill Garden had a grab box with bare root Liparis pieces, cheap enough to give them a shot. Both of my plants survived, the Liparis viridiflora (bought as longipes) opened very slowly a first spike. The plant has a lot of growing to do to live up to its potential, but I do like already the tiny blooms along the spike.
And here is the show that is Schomburgkia ( Laelia) superbiens! 5 out of 6 spikes this year are now open. They are tightly grouped together so the mass of blooms is a bit unruly in my pictures but look really showy in the greenhouse. ( I moved it out to take the pictures)
