Another day in soggy Florida. I woke up to the rain, drove to church in the rain, drove home in the rain and I'm typing this in the rain. There are pictures on the local news of people on paddle boards floating around downtown Tampa streets. This is a rainy season to remember and the lakes and streams were pretty full when it started. There is also a lot of wind with this latest batch of storms.
There is some activity out in the OC. I have to show you this wonderful plant. It only there were a show coming up. I think this is a winner. It's called Brat. Golden Spider 'Copius' (Milt. clowesii x Brs. Starry Knight)
This is primary hybrid Bc. Jacqui (C. granulosa x B. nodosa).
Back to the Oncidiums, here is Alcra. Pacific Pastel 'Mauna Loa' (Alcra. Tropic Splendor x Onc. Connero). I think I showed this one last month...sorry.
What used to be a Bc. is now Brassanthe [Bsn.] Maikai 'Louise' (B. nodosa x Gur. bowringiana)
Here is a great orchid if you want something small that is always in bloom: Prosthechea [Psh.] Green Hornet (Psh. cochleata x Psh. trulla)
Check the lip out on this Bc. Memoria Vida Lee (Bc. Binosa x C. Brazilian Treasure).
Nice flower with a big name: (C. Aclandor X C. Pink Elephants) X C. Brabantiae
Finally, I wanted to show you the new shirt that the gang at the gym gave me for my 70th birthday. I shall wear it proudly.
Jim
