Here are some orchids I have blooming now. I have been growing orchids now for about 5 years. They are what got me into CP's when I was looking for a non-chemical way to help control fungus gnats with my seedlings.
Pict 1 - Psychopsis hybrid (NoID) - this actually has 2 blooms and another bud plus 3 growths maturing. (which should all throw spikes)
Pict 2 & 3 - Cattleya hybrid (NoID) - Pleasant fragrance that is strongest in the morning. Second blooming of summer with another growth starting.
Pict 4 - Dendrobium hybrid (NoID) - Received in the mail a year ago from TFD floral delivery as a thank you gift.
Pict 5 - Paphiopedilum primulinum - This is on its 9th bloom (sequential bloomer) and is also developing a seedpod that I crossed with Paphiopedilum lowii (I know the pod parent is usually the lowii but I wanted to see if there would be any difference going the other way).
All of these are growing on a shelf facing a very large east facing window. They are on humidity trays and are all in S/H (semi-hydroponic).
I hope you enjoy. I will have many more later this winter if you do like them.
