Paph rothschildianum ('Leo' SM/JOGA x 'New Horizon' FCC/AOS) first blooming

Phrag Suzanne Decker 'Big Show' (kovachii 'Laura' x Cape Sunset) purchased from Orchids Ltd a couple of years ago. Plant is a beast! Spread of petals is 16.5cm and has three branches off the spike.

Phrag Jason Fischer (besseae 'Aztec Flame' x M.D. Clements 'Red Wing') first time blooming for me. Purchased from Orchids Ltd about a year ago. This plant has two growths with this being the first to spike. The second growth has the beginning of a spike. This plant is an absolute beast! I've...

I purchased a division of Cattleya trianaei 'Cashens' FCC/AOS from Waldor Orchids back in November of 2022. When I repotted early in 2023 it fell apart into two separate clumps. This is the first one to bloom. It has two spikes with the second spike just starting to open after I took this...

My Cattleya quadricolor 'Elly' AM/AOS which I purchased from Orchids Limited a couple of years ago. The flowers have started to age so I quickly snapped a couple of pictures. I have a question to pose to the forum. Many photos I have found on the internet show a lot of fuschia or purple in...

This is my Cattleya Knightii 'New Horizon' (4N) - (percivaliana x quadricolor) which I purchased from Orchids Ltd last winter. At the time it was in spike. This is the first time I have bloomed it on my own. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I repotted it after it was done blooming...

I purchased this from Woodstream back in May of this year. Their listing described it as a proven white from their breeding. I was hoping for a white phrag but as you can see it has bloomed out with a hint of pink, especially in the pouch. But you know what? I really like it anyhow. It's only...

This just popped today. Not fully open but I wanted to get some photos since I know that the blooms do not last very long. The fragrance is very powerful. I live in a four level house and even with the plant on the lowest level I can smell it throughout the entire house. Purchased from Orchids...

I received this phrag as a bonus plant from Woodstream Orchids. The tag states Phrag sargentianum x Sorcerers Apprentice (4N). Does anyone know if this cross has a name of it's own?

This is my Phrag longifolium album (sib cross) which I purchased from Paph Paradise a few years ago. It was proving challenging to get it to grow well. After making some adjustments to watering, fertilizer and other supplements, all of which I gleaned from reading posts on this forum since...

I received this as a bonus plant back in February in a shipment of a couple of plants that I bought from Orchid Inn before Sam went out of business. This is the first of this kind of paph that I have owned. I have no idea if it is a good example of the cross or not. I tried looking for photos on...

This is Mexipedium xerophyticum 'Windy Hill' HCC/AOS. I've had it for several years. Up until a couple of years ago it was growing in a 10 inch plastic azalea pot. I decided to move it to a shallow tray to see if I could build a large colony. The effort has been slow going but it is starting to...

This is Phrag. Red Wing (3N) (Robert C. Silich x besseae 'Rob's Choice' 4N AM/AOS) which I purchased from Jason at Orchids Ltd a couple of years ago. Took me quite a while to get a picture that truly captured the deep red color.

I purchased this from Diamond Orchids last April in bloom. This is my first blooming since receiving it. Took another picture in better light. Anyone that has ever tried to take pictures of red or pink orchids knows it can be somewhat challenging!

I purchased this cattleya that was supposed to be Cattleya trianaei 'Cashens". This is it's first blooming and I don't think I got what I bought. Let me know if you need additional pictures to help with identification. The flower has been open about 48 hours. Thanks! Don

I purchased this plant back in January from Sam at Orchid Inn. It is Paph. Prince Edward of York (sanderianum 'Lady in Red' x rothschildianum 'New Horizon' FCC/AOS). I repotted it when I received it so I could take a look at the roots. I was quite surprised when the bud peeked up a week ago...

I've had this plant for at least two years. It would produce lots of new growths but wouldn't bloom. After repotting my small collection of masdevallias into fresh sphagnum I set up a special space in my laundry room for them. I am able to close off this small room to the rest of the basement...

Masdevallia decumana 'Big Flower' Front left to right - Masdevallia tovarensis, Lc Love Knot 'Blue Moon', Back left to right - Paph. delenatii var. Dunkel, Paph. delenatii (3N), (Pink Lady x Deerwood AM/AOS (4N) I've shared pictures of the delenatii before but I thought the group looked...

I thought I would share pics of some of the orchids that I have flowering right now. Both the Catt Walkeriana 'Pendentive' and the Pot. Pop City are incredibly fragrant. Since it is early winter here in Minnesota it is quite nice to have the fragrance and the color in the house when it is cold...
