Well, my Blc. Ports of Paradise 'Green Ching Hua' opened up. It's much more yellow than I remembered. I'll have to go look at last year's photos and compare. I think I bought it near the end of its bloom so maybe it will change color or maybe it was affected by its growing conditions. Orchids are a mystery.
And here's a picture of my hand holding Yama. Redland Sunset (or whatever they're calling it these days). I wanted to give you guys some perspective on its size since I was trying to describe it. As you can see, it's not that big of a plant. And I imagine it was a little smaller when I bought it (I think this time last year since this is the first time it rebloomed that I can remember). Since it was in bloom when I bought it, I imagine it doesn't even have to be this big to bloom. But at least now you have some idea. Oh, and FYI, I have normal size hands so consider that when you're extrapolating.
Oh, and do the roots growing out of the pot mean I need to repot this thing once it quits blooming? Is it crying for attention?
