Hi Y'all...I'm baaack! For a minute anyway! I've been so busy lately getting ready for the Pumpkin Festival in October (my first attempt at being a vendor!)

Anyway, that David Sander is beautiful, Elaine! And thanks for the heads-up about Tropiflora's fall show....I may just pass that one up to save my pennies for the Apopka trip (plus it's the last weekend before the Pumpkin Festival and I may be going even more crazy by then!). Are you still planning on coming to the October Orchid Society Meeting? I hope you make it to this one...I'm so looking forward to meeting you in person!

Jim, it amazes me how many plants you have in bloom all the time! I love ALL of them! But that Fairy Den. is one of my favorites...I think I bought that once and promptly killed it! So many of yours are SO gorgeous, I want a piece of each one! I think when we go to Apopka I'm going to shadow you and buy one of everything you buy!

I braved the rain to check out my plants this morning with camera in hand, and here's what I came up with:

4th (yes, FOURTH) inflo on that Stan. of mine (and you can clearly see the 5th inflo amid these blooms):



This one is just starting to open:


A few NOIDS:


These have ID's but I wasn't going to drag out a ladder to see them, just took the bloom photo's:


My Purple Splash is making seed pods! What do I do with them?????


This is NOT an orchid, but it's the first time I ever got a "fairy circle" so I had to share....
