What a beauty to start the new thread, Ursula! Great color and tons of blooms on your garayi.

Nice color on your Vanda, Ken. Can't wait to see this year's blooms.

Elaine, I looked up your Cattleya [C.] gaskelliana var. coerulea on OrchidWiz and your color looks about right. All of the pictures show a white orchid with purple on the lip and a yellow throat. There must be a hundred varieties of gaskelliana and each with a different color. Nice looking orchid.

This month brings out a first time bloomer for me, Galeopetalum [Gptm.] Giant 'Rheim Harlrquin' (Z. Artur Elle x Glta. grandiflora). Its pre-boffin name is Zygopetalum. Nice large flowers for a Zygo.

And another nice Encyclia, E. Nursery Rhyme (E. Atroniceum x E. cordigera).
