I had bought some years ago a Pholidota imbricata from Ooi Leng Sun Orchids. It was a small plant and realized last Fall that I had two dangling inflorescences on that plant. I was watching them just hanging there without any change for months!!
A couple of weeks ago I noticed the tips drying up, and I figured those spikes would abort. But, lucky me, they are opening, just not all the way to the bottom.
( Testing the limits of the IPad camera with those close ups....)
And there is my little Lycaste Phoebe with a few blooms. I think I need to repot some of my plants to get better growth in Summer/ more blooms now. But I take it.
You might remember that I had picked up a Dendrobium linawianum in bud at the North Jersey Orchid Show last month. I take credit for not blasting the buds!
and one more look at the Dendrobium moniliforme Yamatomishiki
