The only reason I understood that, Ursula, is that I'm sipping on a 2004 Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling, selected becaues I needed something refreshing after this 90 degree scorcher. I took Patty to the airport for a long weekend visit with her sister and kids up in Virginia and have therefore been left to my own devices. There is a nice piece of honey and bourbon soaked salmon on the grill and I've whipped up some rice and black beans along with fresh tomatos from the garden to go with it. Life is good.
Wonderful show, Ursula. The Encyclia is indeed lovely.
Laurel's Maxillaria tenuifolia bloomed back on the 3rd of May and mine has just put out a single flower. I'll take it.
Next up is Ctsm tenebrosa 'Ed Wise' X Ctsm Dragon Teeth AM/AOS.
I just found Brassavola tuberculata blooming.
Brassavola Jimminey Cricket is putting out new blooms:
Blc. Hawalian Leopard 'Mai Ling' is just opening:
Blc. Golden Tang is putting on flowers on all sides of the plant.
Carol's Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' just won't quit.
Update on Mcv. Frances Fox 'Sunspots'.
As for Phals, here is Beautiful Red X Self and a NOIDer.
Finally, my new Brassia Rex 'Walomao Spotless FCC/AOS, which I bought in spike, opened two blooms.
