Lycastes in Bloom

2Toned · Sep 25, 2013

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures of my Lycastes that are currently in bloom. I love these orchids and am very fortunate to be able to grow them this far north. I hope you like them, as well.

Cal-orchid has the best they imported seedlings directly from the growers in Japan.

Nice.

2Toned · Sep 26, 2013

I'm quite blown away by your praise

such discerning eyes and tastes! thank you

Nice Lycaste, did you start with a batch of seedlings? Or did you aquire these as divisions of previously bloomed plants, they are quite nice, all look close to, if not actually award quality, especially Jenny Wren. Of course, because Lycaste flowers bruise so easily, it is very difficult to transport them to a show or a judging center without developing brown blemishes along the way. It is difficult to get them awarded even if at home they looked great.

Very beautiful.

2Toned · Sep 26, 2013

Leo, I acquired the divisions, two of which had been awarded - JW & Atlantis. As my longer term goals are to breed, I've been fussy. And you're spot on about the bruising.
