We came from here
The thread "Our Orchid blooms in February 2014" in
Orchids forum
Jim posted his awards pictures last night and I think they need to be repeated here:

Awesome!
March is the time when our Spring blooming Orchids come into bloom and delight us! Please post along and have a good time!
In my greenhouse I see a lot of Spring bloomers ready to open, but not in time to start this thread. So, I will start it with some repeat bloomers and
the little Domingoa haematochila with its surprise bloom
Potinara Hoku Gem blooms year around, I would think it is one of my easiest bloomers. I have 'Sunspots'. Both plants ( I divided mine a few years ago) sit right under the glass ceiling and truly bloomed all Winter. Had to really reach to get them down for some pictures.
Looking at this - can you see the spike coming right out along with the new growth?
Barkeria melanocaulon started blooming last Fall and is still at it
And the Lc Love Knot coerulea is producing nice blooms here and there all Winter high up in the ceiling. Unfortunately I discovered a scale attack when yesterday I took it down to inspect. I cleaned it up immediately, luckily the bugs didn't get too deeply into the clump. The pictures shows the clean plant.
Talking about Dendrobiums, here is one of the tiniest! I like the interesting growth on Den. toressae and the teensy blooms are a bonus. It is this Winter crawling around the mount and finally seems to take off.
