I was up early this morning to spray for grass that had invaded the flower beds and to get other outside work done before the heat sets in. The humidity is off the charts. I put a fungicide in the orchid mister and finished that task as well. There are a few more blooms to report.

Ctsm Crown Fox Voodoo finally opened last night:

This wonderful Cattleya hybrid is a faithful bloomer but has no tag. If anyone has a clue, please let me know'

Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' has opened a flower on each of its two spikes. This is the Psychopsis with the fancy leaves.

I wanted to take a picture of the 'Hildos' flower next to the huge Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley', which is twice the size. Unfortunatly, the 'Hildos' is a little closer to the camera so it looks bigger than it is. Oh well, next time.

I couldn't resist taking another picture of Big George. The bistro table is 30 inches in diameter.
