Ursula said:Glen, how exciting!! It can't be easy to spot something like that, and so tiny too! 
Hopefully you will catch them in bloom one of these days for us! They are such interesting Orchids
Melissa, I love the Stanhopea embreei! Beautiful crazy flying birds/insects.
Regarding your missing tag/Cattleya - Isn't it amazing how one can pick up some really beautiful plants at certain supermarkets nowadays?
I agree. I don't get to see "in situ" orchids much.
Ursula, yes until recently we could still get decent tagged plants at Whole Foods and Lowes (Better Gro). Now unfortunately they are more difficult to find as the injected dye Phals are more popular. Why anyone would want one of those is beyond me. Orchids already have such beautiful colors without the need for dyes. In fact, my first ever awarded orchid was a Better Gro baggie from Lowes for $7.
Mau. Queen Adelia 'Kilaani' HCC/AOS (now Louiscappeara). It was one of the orchids that caught the scale from overwintering a friend's orchid in the shade house. It took a hard beating and is just now bouncing back this year. I'm hopeful that I can save it as I wanted to grow it into a specimen plant. Original award photo and this year's bloom.
