Phalaenopsis xSamera finally opened its bud!

 

[amphirion]

great updates thez.
that aw campy x maxima doesnt look like anything.... yet.
the bosch x campy though looks amazing.
and everything look pretty dapper- mad props with getting inermis to hold more than 2 pitchers at a time.

[thez_yo]

Thanks... and haha I wish but it hasn't even thought about vining yet

 

[Wire Man]

Phenomenal mikei! The color and shape on that one is always amazing.

 

[thez_yo]

Wow really? at this point I'm not sure what to do... I mean, I thought it was ok looking but apparently everyone's like 'wow'?

[bluemax]

So many awesome-looking pitchers still to mature. It is nice to see the S. minors, too.

 

[corky]

you got alot of good stuff about to pop ,look forward to an update

 

[thez_yo]

Yep, I'm excited too. thanks! :grin:

 

[thez_yo]

Ah - I forgot. I took some pics at work of the LL tanks - here's the first tank I had set up maybe 1/2 year ago now:

front and center the red one is peltata, behind it is hamiguitanensis, to the sides are clippy clone 2 right and U left, and back left is d.lanata and right is paradoxa

this is the newer "ICU" tank for more recent babies that needed some TLC (they're better now )

the tall one is alata variegata, back right is xClarabell (clippy x vent x (leessi)), front left is nephthys (some horrible lowland mix with campanulata at the end), and front right is clipeata x clipeata x eymae.

a month or so later, switched clarabell and nephthys to show them off better

and here's that nephthys pitcher today!

 

[thez_yo]

Hmm. Guess no more pics in a little while - here's some stuff I took today:

minors

flava ornata

rosea luteolata

purp montana (I wanted to get a pic from the side but I just couldn't manage to bend over like I wanted to )

the U.nelumbifolia flower again. purple

platychila - staked it up some. It really needs to grow upwards and open up!

inermis with 3 pitchers at the same time!!

some unidentified pings

densiflora x robcantleyi

hamata of possible AW origins popped the 2nd pitcher

the xSong of Melancholy is getting nice colour down the side

flava's pitcher opened up but not by much. I really should repot to lfs : perlite (same with the vanilla orchid) but I just can't manage it maybe next weekend. I have a hunch it'd pitcher better that way.

The two blooms on some Phal mutt that I have. I actually bought it for a coworker that was in the hospital for some mystery cold/flu a couple years ago who ended up passing away. We never found out why, but I'm guessing pneumonia. Guy was 28! So if you get sick, go to the doctor if you feel super extra sick, and definitely don't stay through work! The plant has never grown any new leaves, but keeps blooming off the same stalk I bought it with.

thorelli x campanulata basal

the veitchii K now that the perisome's furled back as much as it's going to

izumiae x xtrusmadiensis

vft b52 doing the best of the vfts

with some wee cobras hanging out in that last pic - here's a closeup of some other little cobras poking their heads up outta that painfully aggressive tropical sphag

glabrata still hasn't opened, but hey, it's growing and inflating pitchers so who am I to complain?

and hamata x platychila with striped peristome. These colour up as they age so my wonderful stripes are short-lived.
