Brought my orchids home today from the local Florist, the Orchid Show is over. I'm glad to have them back.

Sorry for the poor pictures, but I'm totally untalented with a camera.

1. Wils. Opalescent 'On the Edge'
2. Bllra. Tropic Tom 'Pale Face'
3. Zygo. Advance Australia 'Hof' AM/AOS
These 3 are past their prime and are all first time bloomers. Eplc. Haiku Twinkle 'Red Elf' is also blooming for the first time and still going strong. The flowers open with a very pale yellow and then turn white.
Almost forgot my NoID mini Phal.

Silken, you were spot on!

All are very nice! I do love that Eplc. Haiku Twinkle 'Red Elf. Another one for the wish list! I was eying that Wils. Opalescent 'On the Edge' on the price list of a Canadian vendor too. How do you like it in person and for growth habit?

silken, it's easy to take care of, the leaves are narrow and arch gracefully about half way up, not droopy. The PB are centered, not leaning every which way. It does not take up too much space and is in a west window. No additional lighting or anything else. I don't know if that will change, as the plant gets older, I hope not. I'll try to get a picture of the whole plant tomorrow.
Btw. I think that little flower really does look like an Elf.
