Beautiful flower shots, Patty and nice going on that Stanhopea. It's a champion bloomer!
I don't think you need to kill off your fairy ring, if you like it. But do be aware that if you let the little shrooms mature, they will spread and next year the fairy ring will be a lot bigger! They can make walking on your turf slippery. So maybe once they are shriveling up and turning colors (mine usually go black and slimy) you might want to rake them up into a bag.
It was nice and cool outside today, so it's almost getting to feel like gardening weather again. Florida style, that is. Yes, I'm going to try to make it to the October meeting at Selby.
Added later - Gigi, beautiful shots there, too. I still have not consigned my Dens to the Plumeria but they're going out there pretty soon! Yours look so very pretty together.
