Kathy,
I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place for these 'horns'....

would this be the general area?...at the end of the tunnel?

Oh yeah, pots of time. Wish I were a retired person but I think I will be one of the always employed.
No horns in sight, Lindsey!

I'm just back from choir practice and it's dark and scarry out there. I'll take pics tomorrow but you have seen most of what I have in bloom.

Jim

Snowing here...brrr

OK, this is what I was going to take for judging before the meeting was cancelled. Do I have a winner?

The Lyonara Memoria Doug Lace 'Rosminah' with all three spikes open.


The Schomburgkia undulata:


The Cattleya maxima:


The L. purpurata werkhauserie 'Monte X C. gaskelliana coerulea:


And the Dendrobium nobile hybrid:

In addition to all of that, Carol's Florida version of Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' has opened its first bloom.

Jim

They all look like winners to me, Jim. That Den is fabulous!

They all look like winners to me, too! I love the L. purpurata werkhauserie 'Monte X C. gaskelliana coerulea, but what a mouthful!

Fabulous show Jim.

love em jim. Id say Maxima.
My newest is Crispin Roslades 'sandy spearman'
with 2 huge flowers.

I'm voting for the C. maxima..blue ribbon
second place, L. purpurata
and congratulations on your certificate from the Cubits management...very nice indeed...suitable for framing!

Lindsey, I did just that. I printed it out and will shop for a suitable frame.

Thank you, thank you. The truth is I appreciate this much more than some silly ribbon from strangers. Several years ago when I was still working and growing serious roses up in Virginia, I would take the cut flowers into work and put them on my secretary's desk for all to enjoy. When I retired, the staff gave me a similar certificate which said "For Your Service, Dedication and All the Wonderful Roses" I framed it and still have it here on my desk. This one will sit beside it.

Nice Catt, Bree. I love the colours. (Spelled just for you)

Jim

They ARE beautiful colours and wonderful floof!

Oh Jim that's great!! And love the story about the roses. So glad you could print it and I'm especially glad that you couldn't hear my curses trying to create it!!

Bree, that is one gorgeous catt!

I love the certificate! Well deserved, Jim!

Beautiful Catt, Bree!

Kathy,....

Thanks jim but don't worry im use to the color way from the American orchid names..like sunstate colorchart.
