    Epidendrum ciliare

    This one took best Epidendrum at the Key West show 3 weeks ago when it was maybe 2/3 in flower. As you can see the earlier blooms are starting to fade so I'd guess it's in bloom like 6-8 weeks.

    Here's a picture of mine right now with 7 spikes, one of which has not opened yet.

    Epidendrum ciliare

    Not only pretty but they have an intoxicating evening fragrance. One of my favorites.

    Phragmipediums in Miami?

    I'm in the Keys and have a dozen or so Phrags in my shade house under 80% shade cloth. They grow quite well but it is the blooming that is hit or miss. I have an automated misting system for my vandaceous plants in the east end of the enclosure. Because our prevailing winds are from the east, I...

    Is $700 a year on orchids a lot?

    The definition of a hobby is "an obsession without a budget". You can think you have put bounds on how much you'll spend but that usually doesn't hold for very long. Like Ray said, greenhouses up north are expensive to operate so I moved my collection to FL where I don't need one. Do I now have...

    Fort Worth and SWROGA show 11-11 to 11-12-22 - Photos and commentary

    Wow Green Pets....wow. I had to go back and study the photos to find what you were referring to. Yours is certainly an interesting perspective that I would never have seen in a million years. Looks like a Phal on a backed stand with a small overhead light to show the colors better to me but what...

    Relearning orchids in New Hampshire

    Hopefully you have become a member of NHOS. Big auction on Saturday. You can fill your house! 😁 When I grew in NH, I had a greenhouse. Even with that it was a challenge. I moved my collection to the Florida Keys 7 years ago where I can leave them on autopilot in their shade house over the summer...

    Ansellia africana

    Well, thanks for the shot of optimism. I need it with this plant.:rolleyes: I had wanted one for some time so I jumped at the opportunity even though she warned me of her history with it. I was taking it from dark, cold & dreary New Hampshire winters (although it was kept in her greenhouse) to...

    Ansellia africana

    Congratulations. I have one I bought at our society auction over a year ago and it has done nothing. And I mean nothing! A friend had it previously and she had the same issue which is why she put it in the auction. I recently repotted it just to get a look at the roots. They are there but...

    Paph phillipinense 'Coco' AM/AOC

    Very nice. Love the way those dorsals are held. Mine has 2 spikes coming but I'm probably still a couple of weeks away.

    My most favorite

    Any Aerides but houlletiana in particular. Just something about that coloring combination and fragrance.
