This li'l beau greeted me on my return to work after my holiday. Seen the buds ready to burst, last time I swept past my office to water and feed - and as it's my first time blooming this species, I'm pretty excited. Wonderful, potent, though still fresh, flowery scent:Plant and flowers in toto:

One of the insignes, that I brought home from my friend Hans Christiansen's 54th nursery anniversary, has developed a bit since then, so bear with me, that I repost it separately. Stephen (Ozpah) asked me the first time round, how I knew, the plant was polyploid. Then I could only point to its...

Yesterday, I visited Hans Christiansen in Fredensborg. It was the day of his nursery, Orchidegartneriet's mposing 54th anniversary, all the time with him at the helm (accidentally, I unfortunately missed the visit of another ST-member, 'Hamiltons', by the hair of a whisker). I had a couple of...

This plant, I bought from a private person on Ebay. It came with the epithet 'roxo-violetta', but I wonder whether it is? Due to the slight striation on the petals, might it more aptly be named 'striata'? Hope for your expert comments on this matter! (Terry's elucidating comment below made it...

The orange little sister of 'Mishima Spots' graces at the moment the windowsill at my workplace:

Hi y'all! I apologize for the radio silence, but I've been out of circulation for a while due to yet another bout of covid, albeit far from as bad as the first time round (1 x Wuhan + 3 x vaccination, after all, did something good!). I have, though, in the aftermath suffered from marked...

On the 30th of December I unexpectedly discovered, that the Cymbidium Tiger Tail, that I won at the first meeting of our orchid society last year (2022) was flowering. I grow it in my cooler area (i.e. on my backstairs landing under a slanted window), and I have been very weary of wether I...
