    Paph. QF Lani in bloom

    5 flowers. Cascade Creek (PEOY x adductum ) x philippenense. Photos of this hybrid are darker in color so I hope it is not mislabeled but any multifloral that blooms is a treat.

    Vanda surviving crown rot

    I thought I would post this information since I was having difficulty finding the information on other sites. Unfortunately Hurricane Ian was very damaging to many of us here in Florida. My orchid collection took a hit and lost about 1/3 of my collection but home and humans all fine. Two Vandas...

    Pleione ‘Tongariro’ in Bloom

    Florida is difficult to grow Hardy Orchids and I miss my outdoor gardens when in NYS with Cypripediums and other hardy cold tolerant orchids.
