Ursula, I love all your tiny babies! I'm bought a really cool piece of driftwood with a natural little 'bowl' in the center that I want to put a SMALL orchid in (like the vase shaped one I have that liparis grossa in). You're giving me some great options!

Jim, as always, your orchids are just amazing! Enjoy your trip!

These aren't all blooming right now, but are the most recent ones...this is the first chance I've had to post in the last few weeks...
my enc. alata is a faithful bloomer and smells SO good!

And my two newer anosmum crosses (I try to get a new one each year at the Sarasota Orchid Society show from Mac of Mac's Orchids):

This was one of my first orchids more than 10 years ago...it has never bloomed before. Last year Rafael's wife pulled some of these out that they had in bloom and told me, "I always hated these, we had them for years and they never did NOTHING! Now look! Finally!" The blooming canes on hers were at least 3 feet long (something tells me Elaine bought one) but mine are not nearly that long.

Here's the whole plant, I'm sorry it's a terrible picture...the blooms are on the left side, and it's mounted on a piece of wood which makes it a little hard to sort out...
