We had a gorgeous sunny day here and the ice and snow was lowly sliding off the greenhouse all day, always hitting the rain gutter on the way down and flattening it out with a loud klonk! (this rain gutter is routing rainwater into containers in the garage.) Needless to say, we need a new rain gutter, propping it up with a pole isn't going to cut it for long. It seems we need a new one in that spot every 5 years or so!
Anyway - while this was happening, some stuff was ready to pose for pictures.
I bought the Dendrobium findleyanum var. oculatum x sib a year ago, I simply liked the really neat shape of the canes. Nice to see I have the conditions to make it bloom besides adding new growth.
Oerstedella centradenia doesn't look to great plant-wise, I think it objected to have some mealy bugs removed from its budding growths. But we have some blooms.
There is a single, good size bloom (I could wish for higher bloom count, but I am not complaining) on my C. loddigesii 'Aranda B' x 'Sweetheart'. I expect the color to be more pink as the flower matures.
And all the spikes are now open on Blc Dan O'Neil 'Jubilee'
