The oberonia had one spike last year; now it has three. I'm a proud mama. And the Chiloschista (like to say that) I'm sure you remember, Ursula, first had a spike that blasted when I turned it toward the sun! So surprised when it grew another! Such a gift after being so stupert.

Kathy, That yellow Brassanthe is beautiful! I also really like Jim's Newberry parfait. I find myself very partial to the white phals with the red or pink lips.

I love it, Jim! And the Snow Ballet- the spots going out on the side petals are so cute!

Beautiful minis, Kathy. It must be so beautiful, walking out into the growing area and seeing all those awesome flowers.

Jim, I love the Paph and the Gerberara 'Snow Ballet' is also captivating. All of your plants are beautiful.

Bree, how long does the Sharry Baby last? Mine had three spikes that were in bud when I purchased it over a month ago. They opened a week or so after, and still look fresh, and I love the smell.

Thank you all for sharing your plants. I look forward to having some more blossoms to share. The Tying Shin Cupid 'Montclair' that I purchased at the show in Connecticut that I went to with Kathy has several buds still (I have not killed them), and I am anxious to see it bloom and post the photos. So far, nothing has died. Now the challenge will be getting them to re-bloom.

Thanks, Jo

I just noticed my Dendrobium Farmerl is in bloom. I've had it for a few years and grow it in tree fern. The spike was behind the pot facing the house. Here is a look.

Here are a couple of NOID Phals. The first is mounted on a piece of dritwood that my father found on the coast in Gibralter and the second was given to me at my mother's funeral. They have special meaning to me.
