Paphs are for me here hit and miss too in the blooming department. Pedro's Moon flowers regularly, others not so much.

I took some pictures yesterday while cleaning around in the greenhouse. I don't know what possessed me to use the blue poster board ( poor lighting….), but here is the bunch:

Ascocentrum pumilum continues to open teensy blooms

Coelogyne Golden Bug (one for you, Bert)

Epi longipetalum x Laelia lundii - interestingly enough, if you look at the left plant, a new spike emerged from the same growth as a previous and spent spike. I didn't cut it, so it would be better visible. And it seems to form a keiki, as I see small roots.

Lc (John Mossman x Irving Dietsche 'Inky') x Don DeMichaels. The blooms are incredibly scented! Take the scent of Chia Lin ( lots of Cloves and Cinnamon) and add a beautiful perfumed top note of Vanilla.
This one has a bunch of buds right now, although the sheaths on all earlier growths from last Summer seemed to have aborted, but later growths are budding.

Liparis nutans is now fully open and has started new growth at the same time.

Liparis longipens - the flowers are in the mm range and were not easy for me to capture. The scent is not too pleasant, this one is surely fly pollinated….
