And due to approaching Fall temperatures here in the N E, we had 3 very busy days - we are supposed to go down to 43 degr F, so the Paradise Fish came in yesterday. They didn't produce the 1000 babies as they did last year ( they must have developed a taste for Caviar , since they were busy breeding...), but the number of Fish has increased since the Sping, which is a good thing. By today they were looking lively in their indoor home (2 x 40 gallon tanks) and eating plenty!
The cage is starting to look empty as the greenhouse is getting "sardine-packed".
Some pictures from his afternoon -
Ceratostylis rubra is always a bright spot when in bloom

Cleisocentron merrillianum usually blooms in August for me. The keiki has a couple of blooms too. This is actually a true blue Orchid!

Ctna Why Not is now blooming inside

Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' is opening another spike

Encyclia bracteata

Dendrobium rigidum is a cute miniature

Gongora ( Acropera) horichiana is busy opening a few dangling spikes

Lc Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' is trying to squeeze new growths between the slats

And Pelatantheria insectifera are "bugging along"


And the Spiranthes cernua are in full bloom - see the Garden thread.
