Yes, hard working girls. I've been primping three orchids that I will show at the Tampa Orchid Club meeting this Tuesday. One of them is my Dendrobium spectabile that we have been talking about. I had Patty take a picture of me holding it so you could get an idea of size. Here she is:

The second one is Schomburgkia undulata with three spikes around six feet long each. Once again, Patty took a pic of me holding it. Note the star bursts to the left, right and above my head. This is one heck of an orchid.

The third one is the Gongora smaug (Gon. clavidora X pterodactyl). You can certainly see why they call it pterodactyl.
