Some of what I have blooming! How about you?

[HighSeas]

I love looking at everyone's pictures....and yet, I'm so busy and often forget to share my own. So here are some of my current bloomers. How about you? Please share your hard work and insanity!

This is one that's blooming. I love it! What a nice surprise! But what is it?

Grammatophyllum Citrinum: You would NOT believe how much this beast has grown since this picture was taken. Same flower spikes but NINE more pseudobulbs!

Just thought I'd throw this in here....Have you seen a more pathetic creature? This was given to me....You should have seen the shape it was in when I got it. He's growing new roots. Question: What would YOU do with this?

Nice! I just have some spikes...no idea when I will have blooms.

Very nice indeed. Ya gotta love the heat and humidity. I can't grow vandas very well here. Not enough heat and light. Wrap the last one in sphagnum moss. Just grab a handful of wet long fiber New Zealand spag, some thin wire and start to "loosely" wrap the stem at the base of the leaves. It will grow roots into this "loose" spag and then you can repot it in the spring. Love the vanda.

Awesome!

Thanks! I love Vanda's too but find them to be such high upkeep with the everyday watering. I read somewhere that you can make a "tea" bag to lay on the roots and then water with plain water. Anyone here do that?

Thanks for the advice James.....and since I have such a high respect for your techniques, I'll try it! Thank you for your input!
