Attending the twin's Dance recital yesterday, spending time on the NJ shore and now I am looking at pictures…I was editing 107 dance pictures and I managed to keep 25 somewhat sharp pictures of the girls on stage.

And now back to Orchids - I really like the Dendrobium bensoniae, now fully open. It smells strongly of Vanilla, especially in sunshine, I like it a lot. The plant has been adding blooming canes every year and it is one Dendrobium which flowers really nice for me, despite watering it year around and not listening to advice to give it a dry rest.

And a second bloom is now open on the diminutive Schomburgkia albopurpurea

Blc Dennis Kone normally blooms in the Fall for me, but I am not complaining

And I thought the Dendrobium aggregatum was done blooming for the season - surprise spike
