I'm still trying to get her to come to Tampa where Elaine, Melanie and I will take her to Apopka.
Slow day here on the orchid thread. Lovely day, cool and crisp, so I spent some time out in the OC. This may be the first bloom on Phal. amboinensis 'white' X Phal. gigantea. I guess it hasn't been named yet. I've had it for years but have no record of ever blooming it.
Smbc. Dulatiaca 'Lava Flow' AM/AOS is now in full bloom. You may want to wear sunglasses to look at this one.
A last look at the fully open but fading C. maxima.
I think these pics capture the purple on Zygo. Advance Australia AMAOS very well.
Finally, an artsy picture of Den spectabile. I tried to frame the flowers in a window pane that was reflecting across the OC and out the windows into the yard. Oh well, easy to delete.
