Kathy, the Paph Lynleigh Koopowitz is beautiful! And nice shots too! The Den glomeratum is a nice large plant, perhaps the leaf situation will improve outside this Summer.

Speaking of Summer, ALL my plants are outside. I did a bit of a marathon run up and down the steps the last couple of days, our air-condition control box broke down this week and will not be fixed until perhaps Tuesday. Normally I use the air conditioner in the greenhouse exactly on those switch-over hot days in Spring ( and sometimes in Fall) when most Orchids are still inside or I am in the process of moving them out. 95 degr F was a bit hot for the Gouramies and the plants. The Fish went out on Friday morning, they are breeding!! I saw 4 bubble nests this morning!
I will post more of the cage-insides, but here are some starts.
The Mexipedium xerophyticum opened yesterday! Smiling So pretty!

Lc Jungle Eyes blooms already on a tiny plant. It smells really nice, and seems to flower certainly easier than its aclandiae parent.

Cattleya luteola is blooming right on schedule. This is another nice and small little Catt.

As they say - more later. We are going to Waterford Garden in a while to pick up the Waterlilies for the pond!
