Hmmm, that Bulbo looks familar. :lol:


I have one, for now, more later. Here is a favorite grocery store Phaelenopsis. The colors don't show too well, they're a light key-lime-cheesecake green. Mmmm!

I have some pretty spotted Phaels and a pink one to show off, too, when I remember to go get some nice pictures. I also have a green & white Paphiopedilum that's getting ready to pop. :boogie:
 
As promised!

Some orchid that I got from my Grandma to rescue it (it was a baby from a very sick mother plant). After keeping it with my neps for this past year, it decided to make some flowers!

The first open one (just opened yesterday) It's kinda yellow, not greenish like in the pic.

A primary hybrid: Paphinia cristata X Paphinia herrerae. Not as richly colored as cristata, but has the larger flower size of herrerae.
:)
 
I kind of like how they only bloom once a year, it makes it an event to look forward to. Plus, those tiny blooms last for months! It's more reliable than Onc. jonesianum, which has never bloomed for me.
 
Phragmipedium x sedenii

I have to admit i didn't bloom this one. I just bought it in bloom today at an orchid auction and I'm just in love with it. x sedenii is a naturally occuring hybrid beteen P. longifolium and P. schlimii.

Disappointed in how this photo came out -- have the hardest time getting accurate color rendition with many of the purples and some reds. Never had this problem with film. Ah well. In reality, these flowers are a much richer purple -- not magenta as it appears here.

Cute little mini -- flowers are a good size for such a small plant.
