I think so, Ursula, as it looks like one of the exterior walls in the pool cage.

I went to my orchid club meeting today and didn't win a ribbon this time. My bloomers were all past their prime and begining to droop. Timing is a big player in orchid shows. One lady had a nice Stanhopea there and those flowers only last a couple of days. Talk about good timing.

Anyway, I came home with three new babies. The first is Habenaria rhodochelia X outcross which I understand is a species in spite of the name. It is in bloom.

The second one is Schombocattleya Dulatiaca 'Lava Flow' AM/AOS. The newer name is Laelianthe Dulatiaca 'Lava Flow'. I can't resist Schomburgkias. Here is a pic of the flower: http://www.ironwoodorchids.com...

The last one is Maxillaria tenuifolia. I already have one but no one put in a bid on the poor guy so I picked it up for $8. This is a bloom from my other one.

A good day and no rain.
