Starting off the new thread with Trichopilia Suave Margins. I bought the plant years ago from Santa Barbara Orchids and I always enjoy its fairly long blooming season, in some years the plant continuous to bud right into early June.


I posted the other day my Polystachya paniculata into the anticipation thread. Here it is now partially open with tons of tiny blooms.


And a little preview of my post into the Miniature thread....

Beautiful, Ursula! Off to read up on Tricopilia and polystachya...

Carol, Trichopilias are not hard to grow. I only have to watch out that the plant is really well ventilated and not too shady when new growth appears, or the tender growth might rot. Ever since I watch out for that, I do ok. with them.
The Polystachya came from Cal-Orchids, I was surprised to see it budding without much ado.

I think I need to rethink Trichopilias then. My first one rotted. I saw an all white one yesterday at the Amherst Orchid Society meeting. Nice.
Polystachya paniculata is just fabulous!!!!

Here's the Easter Bunny today. And a new bloom on C. intermedia 'Arrandeam.'

Tall Easter Bunny!! very nice blooms!

Ooooh, Easter Bunny is getting prettier!

It wanted to come home with me!

Hey I'm going to my birthplace tomorrow to the NYBG Show!!!!! Three of us are going down and we are meeting a friend I've known since 4th grade!!! Needless to say, I'll bring my camera! YES!!

I am also VERY pleased to have changed my RO filters tonight thanks to my DBF's support! I've been stalling all weekend because I dread doing it. But with his help, it was a breeze this time. So happy to have it done. I bet my Disa will be way pleased!

Kathy, I hope that you had fun and that you post your loot soon, as well as some photos of the show!

Here are photos of the show.

I did spot one new bloom while looking in the bushes. Oncidium psychopsis has put out two blooms on the same spike.



Also Epi radicans is beginning to bloom.



Jim

Wait till they see where they are going to live soon!!!!!
Here's C. Easter Bunny today. The seller was so accurate about how the color deepens.

Kathy, heart be still, I love EB!! ( no, it is not that one from HOP )

Jim, your Orchids surely don't mind their temporary home, looking good! Besides you got the "Overseer" in bloom
