I picked up this plant a couple years back at auction, and now that its in bloom, I'm thinking this particular plant is a selfing of the Barbara Leann 'Hot Hot Hot' parent. Just wanted to confirm with you folk, so I can confidently 'rebrand' this phrag ;) What do you think? I know fischeri can...

I grew this one from a seedling for about 3 years. Still only a single growth, but thankfully that didn't stop it from blooming!

Here's a first bloom on a single, mature growth of Elfin's Luxury (also 1 new growth). Very happy with it, thanks J-P!

This one I've had for a couple years and has done really well, throwing out new growths everywhere. Happy with the outcome, but the stem is rather short, likely from growing in higher light.

I got this plant last year and it started to spike a few months later (June). It only now decided to finally bloom. I thought paphs took a long time to bloom until I waited this one out!

Here's a first flowering for my dendrobium spectabile I picked up a couple years ago as a large seedling. This plant, of all orchids I have in semi hydro, has outperformed all others in terms of growth & vigor in that media. Most all of my dendrobiums do well in S/H, but this one takes the cake...

Here's 'Charlie' that I got from John M a couple years back. First flowering for me

I picked this one up at our local show this past spring. I grow it the same as nearly all my other phrags, in semi hydro by a bright east window. 15F drop at night down to 60F or so. It just opened up a few days ago.

This bud was a few months in the works, but it was worth the wait. First bloom on a single growth, so needless to say, its getting lopped off soon. It would be nice if there were multiple growths/starts, but nothing yet.

The habenaria has been opening up successively for a couple weeks now. The bulbo I never even noticed until a few days ago when it was almost ready to open up! First bloom and only one bud, but I'm happy to be able to see it.

Here's one I picked up this spring at our local show. Peng Seng is a cross between cruentum and tobaense. These seem to do well in semi-hydro for me

This is a recent acquisition that I've had for a few months now

I got this one a couple years ago as a large seedling. It has since turned into a bit of a shrub, putting out new growths like there's no tomorrow. This is its first blooming, which I'm happy it bloomed, but I'm holding out for better flowers. I do like the pouch though!

So I kept the buds from blasting, but that's my only feat with this one. Just got it last week :p I've got a smaller D. uniflora (normal red kind) that has been growing well for me so I thought I'd pick up another! The color is hard to describe, its kinda peachy/pink, I think. Sepals are...

I got a division of this from our society meeting last fall. Not sure who put it up for auction, but I couldn't pass on it ;)

So its almost fully open, but I couldn't wait :) Quite pleased so far as it is already branching for me on my first blooming. The heat has been incredible recently for this time of year, so I think this has had a bit of an effect on the colour. I will update as time progresses. Overall, very...

My favorite den :p And one with his buddy:

I find this one nearly impossible to keep the leaves clean. I keep my fertilizer very low, and alternate with Cal-Mag, but it inevitably browns from the leaf tips. I grow it semi-hydro, but I believe it may do better with smaller sized LECA.

First bloom callosum for me. Its a cute little thing

I picked this one up at our local show. Cannot take credit for the bloom
