A big thunder storm is moving through just now giving us Tarev's average annual rainfall in about 20 minutes. Some of the lightening strikes are scary close.
I was out in the OC before the storm and took a few pics. First up is Rhynchovola [Rcv.] Moonlight Perfume (B. nodosa x Rl. glauca). Beautiful soft yellow blooms on this one.
Next up is a new spike on Bc. Fladosa (B. nodosa x C. crispata)
Then the big named orchid, (C. Gene May X Lc. Spoz Tabee Splash) X L. briegeri 'Corpusles' keeps on blooming.
This is the Vaughnara Fiftieth Anniversary (Bc. Richard Mueller x Epi. magnoliae) that lives in a pot, not the one that I have in the sponge. I'm trying to see if the sponge is better or worse than a pot.
Den. Chan-Chao (Den. Waianae Profusion x Den. Ly) is putting on a show:
A new flower on the C. lueddemanniana:
I see my Pleurothallis [Pths.] hamosa is now called Acianthera [Acia.] hamosa. Anyway, I'm glad it is blooming again. Edited here to say that the ATP Data Base has this orchid listed as Acianthera prolifera.
And now, moving into the enormous section, this is Den. White Fairy (Den. Singapore White x Den. Walter Oumae), or that is what Ursula and I think it is.
Finally, still in the enormous section, is my Aerides odorata. For these pictures, I have taken it from its hanging place and balanced it atop a small step ladder. What a beast!
