I just did a photo shoot in the OC. It's cold outside today with a north wind whipping about. The temp in the OC is 62, which is cool for this time of day. They are calling for a Sunday night low in the upper 30s. Brrrr.

I'll start out with species Epi. stamfordianum which hails from Belize. It puts out a nice fragrance.

Next up is Dendrobium Burana 'Green Star'. I love the color on this one.

It is very hard to photograph Dendrobium spectabile and then make sense out of what you are looking at.

I guess I could say the same for my ribbon winning Schomburgkia undulata.

Then there is the newbie with the strange long name, C. Gene May - Lc. Jungle Elf 'Space Leopard' X C.Penny Kuroda - L. briegeri 'Corpusles'

There are strange birds flying everywhere when Gongora smaug (Gon. clavidora X pterodactyl) is blooming.

Maxillaria setigera is still providing a sweet fragrance to the OC.

I have two Epc. Rene Marques 'Tyler' orchids. The one that went off to the state fair now is finished blooming. This is the one that stayed home.

This NOID Dendrobium is mounted on a Pet Smart lizzard log.

Lc. Eva ( C. aurantiaca X L. cinnabarina 'poppy) will brighten up any dark corner.
