Sorry I have been away for a few days. My cousin and his wife are still here but are taking a morning walk. Cattleya intermedia is a beauty and certainly worthy of kicking off the month. Thanks, Ursula.
I'll start out with Enc. fowliei, a small plant mounted on a piece of cypress. Experts have told me that this plant needs humid wet conditions but it seems perfectly happy on its mount.
Since we ar in Encyclia season down here, I'll continue with Encyclia cordigera, var. rosea. Too bad I can't send along the wonderful fragrance as well.
Blc. Frank Fordyce 'Waiakea Uka' is still blooming nicely.
Dendrobium loddigesii is a small plant but it is full of flowers.
For those who like red, Epi. Pacific Sizzle 'Flameout X Epi. Pacific Pepper 'Mulligans' is a winner. It is a nice tall read stem Epi.
Finally, Dendrobium crumenatus, sometimes called the "Pigon Orchid".
Jim
