Love the Zootrophion, Ursula. Lizard heads indeed. Kate, my Onc's do sometimes branch and bloom on an old flower stalk. Keep an eye on it.
My little Yellow Birds opened yesterday and I didn't get a shot of them in their initial rosy color, but here they are fading through pink. The birdie twins!
Tried a few 'portrait' shots of my David Sander this morning since it's cloudy and the light coming through the window is nice and soft.
This little flower on my new NOID catt from Apopka seems to have opened about as far as it can. Seems like I will have an ivory flower with pink lip when a new one comes along. I do have another sheath looking promising on this one.
My other bloomers, noid Den opening more flowers today, Enc. Green Hornet perfuming all around, and the tiny noid Brassavola, which went for a little swim in the pool yesterday when the wind knocked a trellis over, which took a stand holding 5 other orchids into the water. We'll see what a couple of hours' bath in the highly chlorinated pool does for them! Let's hope it drowned all the bugs and killed all the fungi . . . without bleaching out all the flowers to come, right Jim?
