When I took the dog out at 7:00 this morning it was 58 degrees, breezy and light rain. We need the rain but the rest of this is not welcome. Wow on the Barkeria, Ursula! There is a blue ribbon for sure.
I apologize for sending back some reruns but these large plants are reaching their prime and I didn't want to lose them in the new year transition. After doing some research, I am going with Bill's suggestion of Ctsm. expansum. I can't find the f. Alba as being official so I am just going with Ctsm. expansum. In full bloom now with 19 flowers.
And Mr. Floppy Flower is coming along nicely and still with blooms to open. Here is Bct. Simba's Song (Bsn. Maikai x C. purpurata).
This is Ett. Volcano Trick 'Orange Fire' (Ctt. Trick or Treat x Epi. stamfordianum), winner of the Member's Choice Award at our last club meeting.
And finally this poor Guarianthe [Gur.] deckeri that has been plagued with scale that just returns as fast as I clean it up. This one flower may be its last gasp.
