Very nice Ascofinetia [Ascf.] Cherry Blossom, Bert. Under the new rules, they are just calling it a Vanda these days. It sure has a beautiful color.

Ursula, your Ascocentrum garayi (now also called a Vanda) is a show stopper. My Vandas quit blooming about a year ago and I have no idea as to why. Shrug!

It is Encyclia day out in the OC. First up is Enc. fowliei which just opened this week.

And Encyclia cordigera, var. rosea is in full bloom and full fragrance. Gotta love this one.
