2015 orchid review

[monocotman]

Hi,
Now I can post links to Flickr here are a few orchid highlights from 2015.
First up is Phrag La Hougette and La Vingtaine flowering in the spring.
Both from the EYOF. La Hougette is dalessandroi x 4n Beauport so triploid and as Eric is fond of saying,super vigorous.
La Vingtaine is kovachii x MDC and much less vigorous.

This flower stayed like this until it dropped. Great form.
It may also be polyploid,
