Some more stuff in bloom today -
If you are looking for an easy grower and bloomer, Ceratostylis rubra (retisquama) surely fits the bill. It doesn't have a specific blooming season here for me, it just puts out a flush of pretty blooms every so often. I grow it sunny and water daily.

And as Melissa mentioned, it is Neostylis /Vandachostylis Lou Sneary season!
These are the 'Bluebird' clone. These are all prettily scented.

And this old plant is just Lou Sneary, nothing special selected here, but is a good size plant, formerly planted into a basket.

Cattleya Chocolate Drop 'Kodama' opened a second spike and the scent is now double as nice. Vanda Adisak Blue in the background.

And we can now add the scent of Chocolate and Vanilla to the scent mix, my old plant of Oncidium Sharry Baby is working on 4 spikes.
