(Shin-Yi Prince is PEOY x sanderanium).
The hybrid name is Paph. Hilo Prince.
I really like the size of the flowers and shape of the petals. 4 flowers…..eventually.
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.
Unusual for south Florida to get 4 days of low 30’s that require those of us who keep our collections in Pergolas on the lanai or open greenhouses to have to encase in plastic and use heaters. At least the cool growing orchids love it.
Not complaining since no longer need a snow blower to get...
Here’s a few pics of some of my interesting Bulbo in bloom that I am now obsessed with…
B. Melting Point (rothschilianum x longissimum x fascinator)

bellatulum ‘Perfecto’ x rothschilianum’Giant Wings’ GM/WOC
Originally from Orchid Inn
Appears pinker than last year so I am pleased and it’s been in flower for over 8 weeks
Florida is difficult to grow Hardy Orchids and I miss my outdoor gardens when in NYS with Cypripediums and other hardy cold tolerant orchids.

I rarely can get bulldog complex to grow and bloom for me in Florida.
This 7 mature growth plant had 3 blooms developing since December but 2 blasted. Finally one flower opened.
Dreaming Emerald Green Ripples x Hellyer ‘Graciously Green’ is the labeled tag:
Finally after 12 years, this plant has bloomed again for me (purchased in bloom 12 years ago from Selby Gardens Sarasota, Florida). 2 flowers. 4 mature growths. Now waiting for my Bernice to flower again purchased 13 years ago from same source.
