Trying to catch up on posting a few of the things I've managed to photograph in the last few months, these flowers fell about a month ago after blooming for 3-4 weeks. I got this last fall from someone on another forum reducing her collection, tag says Al's Orchid Greenhouse...

First-bloom seedling, NS is about 10 cm and would be close to 14 if it opened flatter. I like it a lot though I'm not sure how much it improves over either parent, nonetheless a nice flower to have around. One of my favorite aspects is that it has a long, thick malipoense-ish spike but only...

My only Phrag, bought dirt-cheap at a show in spring 2011. The vendor has a bunch of besseae clones they say are divisions of wild-collected plants, not sure if this is one of those or a seed-grown offspring. After tweaking some camera settings to back off on red saturation the color in the...

First-bloom seedling, this was a gift from the president of my local OS after I told him how much I liked the tesselation. He must have heard the plantlust in my voice... :drool: Flower was obviously on its last legs and fell a few days later, but the plant is going strong with two new...

Seedling-- 'China White' x 'Cherry Pop', I think? Too lazy to go look at the tag right now. :o Typical color crossed with a dunkel, anyway. Has a very pleasant rosy/lemon scent, which at its peak was noticeable 4-5 feet away. These photos were taken mid-February and it started browning and...

Another one blooming right now, probably near the end since it's been open for 4 or 5 weeks. The spike took a very long time to form and bloom. Much bigger flower and deeper yellow than the FD I just posted but way less flat. Oh well, I like it anyway. Seems to have a slight 'woodsy'/cedar...

I've resolved to get better about photographing and posting pictures of blooming orchids. I just got this from Springwater Orchids, very large and well-grown for the price. Thanh sent it in late spike so all I had to do was keep my clumsy mitts off it and let it bloom. NS is about 6 or 7 cm I...

The North Carolina Arboretum, just off the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, NC, hosts the Western North Carolina Orchid Society Annual Show on March 31 and April 1, 2012. This year's theme is The Secret Garden of Orchids, and will celebrate the 50th anniversary of WNCOS and the 25th of...

Interesting little species I was given as a division from someone's giant clump a few years ago. This is the first bloom I've gotten, the flower is about 1 cm wide and 1.5 cm long with a faint fragrance of honey and musk in the morning. Several sources say the flowers only last a few days, but...

Lots of great pics of these all over forums right now, here's my meager contribution. --Nat

Hi everyone, just joined up here to learn more about slippers and other orchids. I've been around orchids most of my life (Dad's a longtime addict himself), actively collecting and growing them for about 4 years, and just got a few slippers in the past year or so. My current list of slippers...
