I put in 13 and a half MG hours yeasterday and I was tired when I finally got home. Too much for an old retired guy like me.

I'll start off with my big Grammatophylum scriptum. I'm a little disappointed as it only put out one spike this year. I've had as many as six. Each spike is three feet long and has about 50 flowers or so. The plant itself is about the size of a bowling ball and about as heavy as well.

Here is a NOID Dendrobium that was begging to have its picture taken.

And my favorite, Dendrobium anosmum.

After taking a month or so off, the Spathoglottis plicata are starting to rebloom.
