Just trying to convince Ken about posting lots of pictures, Lindsey. I do love the chit-chat, too but this IS the thread where we post our blooms to share with all our orchid friends. We are flexible and the discussion is wide-ranging but pictures really keep it alive.
Bottom line, it's a thousand times more fun to bloom an orchid and have friends to show it to. Plus, I go out and see, smell, enjoy every flower every day so I don't get tired of seeing the same flower again. Although I might put on my sunglasses to visit Ursula's 'Ginza Beauty' with that blazing pink color in the sun!
Don't know if I've posted my NOid Den in bloom again with nice big flowers, and I shot a bunch more since I was out there . . . if you don't enjoy repeats, just skip forward!
Yellow bird starting up again, and Punakea just about finished, fading delicately:
The big sunset Catt has a broken pot and was trying to fall over on its face in the deluge of rain yesterday so I had to tie it up. I've been waiting at least 2 months for it to finish blooming so I can re-pot it:
