Holy cow! We just had 5 years of California's average annual rainfall thunder through here. Local news says there is a run on snorkels at the sporting goods store Hilarious!

Elaine, nice NOID and Ken, love the C. Brabantiae 'Pink Elephants' x Blc. Sunspots 'Exotic Spots'. Great form and color.

Back out in the OC, here is Procatavola [Pcv.] Walnut Valley Lime Stars (Ctyh. Lime Sherbet x B. Little Stars).

And then there is Bsn. Maikai 'Louise' (B. nodosa x Gur. bowringiana). This was a Bc. the last time I looked. Big plant, lots of flowers.

Looks like someone blasted a hole through a sepal on that last flower. I've not seen that before.
