Time for a new monthly thread. We came from The thread "Our Orchid blooms in May 2013" in Orchids forum
Please join us in posting your June blooms here. Ursula is spending the weekend at her lovely property in Pennsy so asked me to start the new thread. Hopefully she will return with some wonderful pictures to share.
All of these pictures were taken yesterday afternoon.
Let me begin with this large Brassia Rex 'Walomao Spotless FCC/AOS. The flowers are huge and pure yellow.
Moving from screaming yellow to screaming red, this is Epi. Pacific Sizzle 'Flameout' X Pacific Pepper 'Mulligans'.
Here is a primary hybrid Phal. called Phal. Mancervi.
Mcv. Frances Fox 'Sunspots' now seems to be holding her color.
The ribbon winning Grammatophylum scriptum seems none the worse for wear after the show.
This is Brassavola tuberculata.
The troop of hand puppets are still here. This is Sarcoglottis sceptrodes All of the pretty leaves are gone, just the blooms now. It should leaf out later.
This pretty NOID Phal. wanted to be included.
Gongora smaug (Gon. clavidora X Gon. pterodactyl) is still flying about.
Tampa's own Encyclia tampensis
Still in the Encyclia corner, Encyclia cordigera, var. rosea is still looking good.
Epicatts really do well for me. Here is Epc. Rene Marques 'Tyler'.
I love the colors on this Blc. Hawalian Leopard 'Mai Ling'.
Blc. Golden Tang just keeps pumping out the blooms.
Speaking of prolific bloomers, here is Carol's Gerberara Snow Ballet, Florida edition.
Something a little different, Maxillaria tenuifolia.
Another prolific bloomer is species Dendrobium antennatum.
Psychopsis Mendenhall alba 'Yellow Butterfly' has a new bloom.
As for ground orchids, the yellow Spathoglottis plicata and the Spathoglottis George Swirl are both blooming.
Hanging under the oak tree is Epidendrum radicans.
Last but not least, B. nodosa X C. netrasiri 'waxy' is just opening some new flowers.
That brings you up to date on the OC activity and gets us off to a good start in June. Please join in.
