It was around 2004 or 2005 that I picked up a flask of Paph Black Currants x Macabre 'Candor Blackheart' HCC/AOS at an orchid fest, simply for the fun of it. I un-flasked about 30 little babies and then over the course of the next years lost some here and there. Birds picked out some of the Sphagnum along with some of the babies, some more expired until I was left with 2 decent, healthy plants. I was moving some stuff around a few weeks ago, not realizing there was a good size bud on one of the plants (and an emerging one on the other), I managed to break it off. Not happy!! But - I waited for the second bud to open, and here it is.
First the ring with the 2 plants ( older picture)

Amesiella monticola opened a pretty bloom on a tiny plant

And the Energizer Butterfly/Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos', but I would slowly like to see some new growth on my plant too.
