We came from here

The thread "Our Orchid blooms in February 2019 💕" in Orchids forum

It is March 1. and so we have a new thread for the month. Let me start with my old Lc Rojo/Cattlianthe Rojo 'RH' which is growing ca 20 years amongst my Orchids, blooming every Spring.

and as comparison the Rojo re-make Lc Rojo 'Valentine's Day', together with Dendrobium Angel Moon 'Love Letter'

Epidendrum Miura Valley keeps on opening, the blooms on the non-resupinate secundum type reedstem Epi don't complain too much.

And there is the Miltonia Sunset with a bunch of springtime buds and blooms.


Please all join in and post away!

Oh my goodness, where did the month go?
Well thanks Ursula, I see we are off to another great start. I love that Rojo! It was like the third or fourth orchid I purchased back in 1975! I lost it in the mid 80's due to scale which I could not beat back then. The
That pink reed stem Epi. Is a show stopper!!

I don't believe I have ever seen a reedstem epi, it is a showstopper for sure.

All nice ones, Ursula. I really like that Sunset with the contrasting pastels.

I used to have several varieties of reed-stem Epidendrums, but think I only have the radicans now. They are just starting to bloom.

Cute! Look at those speckles!

I know these flowers are not open yet but I just couldn't resist. I didn;t even know this plant was in spike, its so small, true mini, the plaque is only 2" x 3". Cirrhopetalum (bulbophyllum) tiawanense

And you need a microscope to see this, but....that teensy little pinky-purple blip is the bud on my Schoenorchis scolopendria sp. 'Creeping'

Those ARE teeny ones Gina.. but cute even though I needed the magnifying glass!
On the other end of the spectrum I have this Rlc. Pamela Finney with 5 massive fragrant blooms on 2 spikes.
This one opened a couple of weeks ago when I was out of town, but missed getting her picture taken.

The 'sp Creeping' flower actually will be visible to the naked eye when it opens

I am sure that there is a plant some where under all those flowers!!
Oh those Finneys!! They are some gorgeous ladies!
Great job Lindsey.

Thanks Bill, I wish it had opened this week.. it would have looked nice in our display that will be judged tomorrow.


I've volunteered to clerk for the judges, and hope to learn lots!

Pamela Finney, oh my!!

Gina, cute minis!

Oh how I wish I was team captain. I'd made a practice of including all of my clerks in ribbon judging. We have a really good time!
I love the display, very nice color flow!

Always a great start to the month, Ursula.

Thanx

It's a pleasure!

Jumellea comorensis flowers year around, throwing some cinnamon-scented blooms out here and there with some major blooming cycles. Right now it is budding on all sides of this somewhat wild looking clump.

Hi everyone. My Nun's Cap orchid is starting to bloom.

Woohoo! Good job!

I've always meant to get some of those, Cameron. I need to do just that.
