I agree, all yours are beautiful, Jim. I've still got that Arundina on my 'wish list' as I'd like to grow as many ground orchids as I can. It's a beautiful flower on such a graceful plant.

New addition to said list is definitely Hoku Gem 'Freckles'. Outstanding color and such a pretty shape. I want any orchid that you folks say is a frequent bloomer and easy to grow.

Here's another of B.'Big Jim' with the lip all the way open. I think they must have named it that because of the flower size - its about 6in from tip to tip of the lateral petals. Lip is nearly 2in. long. I just got in from putting the boat away after the big Labor Day regatta (they give us Monday to recover . . thank goodness) and the perfume greeted me as I came into the pool cage.
