Thanks for a beautiful start to our new thread, Ursula. I see you were at it at the stroke of midnight while old guys like me were sound to sleep. Hilarious! Apart from the always lovely Chia Lin, I'm quite fond of the Cirrhopetalum. I'm still trying to see the difference between it and a Bulbophyllum. Shrug!

I'll start with a brand new bloom on my Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'. This is the big Phychopsis with flowers about three times the size of my regular ones.

Then there is Epicattleya (Epc.) Lime Sherbert X Bc. Little Stars which is just covered in blooms.

Carol's Gerberara 'Snow Ballet', Florida edition, is also blooming up a storm.

It looks like Blc. Golden Tang is going to be one of those orchids that is always in bloom.

Here is my version of Blc Chia Lin 'New City' .

And David Sander is putting on a fourth bloom.

Epic. Volcano Trick Fireball continues to fill out its spike. Epicatts really do well for me and I like the blooms.

The last one for now is Miltassia Golden Spider 'Copius'
