Looks really healthy, and the flowers are lovely, Ibis. Nice find, and be sure to post when it starts blooming.

Adorable!...reminds me of the tiny Tolumnia blooms.

Taking US27 south to Krome Avenue has less traffic, if anyone is going to the Redlands. I always drive that way .

That's apretty oncidium Ibis. I have a white "twinkle ". Not in bloom at the moment.

My little "Pink Profusion" Twinkle is just beginning to open...it has about 5 inflo's on it:



And the 'black' Ctsm. I just bought is opening too!





Jimminey Cricket still going strong....how's your's Jim??

Ibis, I think yours will be just like mine! Opening any day now! It looks like a healthy one!

Alice, I don't know a lot about catesetum, but I do know there are LOTS of varieties and Fred Clark was instrumental in creating the 'black' ones...and there are lots and lots of crosses of those. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Patty, your Pink Profusion looks great in that beaded hanging basket! Is that one of your baskets?

@SarasotaPatty, how about popping those blooms into our monthly bloom thread?

Yes, Ibis, that is one of my baskets...one of the first ones I made too!

Sure Ursula, I'll put them over there too if you wish...I just hate to be a 'hog' about posting my photos' in numerous threads.

Actually, I was thinking of deleting them in this thread, once you have moved them of course.

Edited to add - I see, those were just bought!! Ok, I will leave you post here too! This was kind of a toss up where to post, no harm done!

There's an orchid show coming up for midwesterners (and anybody else) in St Louis at MOBOT.(February and March). They usually have gazillions for sale in their on site garden store while the show is held,

For sale back in Feb. 2013

Also, all year in the tropical dome 'Climatron' there's a lot of orchids for viewing -
A few examples -

I visited the Climatron a couple of months ago. Very nice indeed.

Today I spent a few hours at the North Jersey Orchid Society Show, at their new location at the Douglass Student Center, Rutgers University in New Brunswick, 100 George Street. The Show is ongoing to Sunday, Jan 17.
I had a really good time, the exhibits were gorgeous and there were a lot of good Orchids to be perused at the Vendor's tables. Fun!


And there is my loot!

Prosthechea chimborazoensis in bloom
Vanda ustii
Vanda Paki X Vanda Bill Burke
Sarcoglottis sceptrodes 'Green Goddess' in spike
Neostylis/Vandachostylis Fuchs Ocean Spray
Trichopilia suavis X self in bud
Ancistrochilus rothschildianus, blooming
Oeoniella polystachys
Pecteilis sagarikii
(Corrections posted courtesy of Jim, see downstream. thanks Jim!! :-)

Almost too much for the eye, Ursula. Nice haul you got.

Thanks Ken! I was really happy to pick up the Ancistrochilus rothschildianus, this one is really neat with its Hershey Kiss - shaped pseudobulbs. I had one more than ten years ago and I lost it one Summer. Never saw another one until today! Tickled pink!!

Your Sarcoglottis is different than the ones I grow.

It is different from mine too, that's why I picked it up. The leaves are much larger on this Cultivar.

Gorgeous show, Ursula and thanks for taking us along. I like the last picture the best

I'm still working on the loot. Give me a few minutes.

Jim

Thanks Jim!
This lovely lady has only Orchid jewelry and her prices are reasonable. I always wind up happily chatting with her, she is really sweet! The piece on the blackground close to her right arm did wind up in my basket....

Thx, I can read the tags!! So much blooms this time of year, great show.
