Just a few more.

Here is Slc. Ploenpit Fantasy in spike. I saw a bloomer and it was fantastic.

This is Ctsm tenebrosa 'Ed Wise' X Ctsm Dragom Teeth AM/AOS, in spike. I know they always go dormant in the winter but they seem to like it here and bloom well in late spring. This is my third Ctsm.

Nothing special about this Lc. Spring Fires 'Lenette' X Blc. Orglades Happy Face 'Bright Future' except the incredible orange bloom. I can't wait to show it to you when I get it to bloom.

We were in Krull-Smith Orchids when I pointed out this poor fellow to Jim Krull. He laughed, reduced the price and called it a repotting special. I have no idea as to the flower but I will repot today. Here is Lc Prism Palette X (Gaiety Flambeau X MECarter) X walkeriana. It looks to me like they stuck them all in this tiny pot and a couple of them tried to escape. It's in spike so it won't be long before we know what has been created here. Sometimes it's just for fun.

Well, that's it folks...my Redlands and Apopka all rolled into one. What do you think? I can say one thing, yesterday was a delight. Wonderful friends and all those wonderful orchids. Life is good.
