Here are the pictures I missed out on posting last night. The first spike on this big guy is nearly done, but the rest are just opening. The flower thrips got to a few of the blooms, but I broke out the Spinosad spray after I got home from my trip, and no signs of damage on the last flowers, at least.

Lc. Renate opening a second spike while the first one has faded the yellow sections almost to white. I haven't seen it do this before, so I wonder if it's the heat?
