I checked the rain guage this morning to see how much wwe got yesterday and it had overflowed at 4 inches. That was some storm.

I trimmed all of the shrubs this morning and then spent some time in the OC. Here are some brand new bloomers:
First up is Cattleya [C.] lueddemanniana f. alba. I never noticed the thrip damage until I looked at this photo. What a shame because it is a lovely flower. There are more buds so perhaps I can salvage some of them.


Next is my huge Aerides odorata. It has several spikes hanging down but is just too big to move.


Beautiful color on this Rby. Copper Queen (Rlc. Toshie Aoki x Bc. Richard Mueller)


If you like elegant green and white, here is Cattleychea [Ctyh.] Lime Sherbert X B. Little Stars


And finally, with the big name, is (C. Gene May X Lc. Spoz Tabee Splash) X L. briegeri 'Corpusles'. A frequent bloomer with nice flowers.
