Hello folks! I just want to say thank you some of you may have seen my introduction post, where I vowed as my New Years resolution to never kill an orchid again! Can be seen here:

Well, since then, my collection has really grownand is actually THRIVING!
So I wanted to share an update on what I've been growing! Here is a list/brief description of my full collection!
Brassavola Nodosa
In spike with 4 buds and some incredible roots!
2 Maxillaria Tenufloria
1 actively growing new pseudobulbs, 1 just finished flowing and I had to repot and divide that one because I had discovered that it was shipped to me with a family of centipedes. So I wanted to remove as much sheath and hiding place as possible.
Dendrobium Nobile Fancy Angel "lycee"
In flower, nearing the end dropping flowers rapidly and I am a little worried about this orchid, as it is also losing leaves. I don't think it's due to dormancy .... Maybe I'm wrong.
Slc. Love Castile "Kurenai"
In flower with two large deep magenta blooms.
Blc. Dan O'Nell "Jubilee"
Recently finished flowering (my profile picture is the flower). I decided to repot, and I am so glad I did. The media was badly in need of being changed and the roots were no where as healthy as the plant appeared! I really really love this plant.
Zygopetalum "Big Red"
In spike with 6 massive buds!
Monnierara Millenium Magic "Witchcraft"
Out of dormancy and has a new growth about 6 inches tall with 4 or 5 leaves.
Onc. Twinkle "White Shower"
In flower on 2 spikes and 1 spike developing.
Den. Delicatium or Kingiarium
It was labeled delicatium, but I don't think it is. At any rate, it just finished flowering. The most intense fragrance of any plant I've ever smelled!
Den. Big Wave "Akebono"
This is a keiki I rescued from my local nursery. The roots were badly damaged and I am trying to stimulate it to grow.
Tolumnia Angelheart x Spunky"HotSpots"
Just about finished flowering, and based on all the research I've done these love to be mounted vs. potted, so this morning I just mounted it on a piece of cork and moved it to the west window inside my shower where it should receive a great deal of humidity... We shall see!
Vanda Mary x Thonglor
This is a better gro bag baby that I put into a 4" basket and also hung in my west facing shower window so it should get a great deal of humidity and bright light.
Miltassia Golden Spider "Copius"
In flower and looking super healthy with lots of new growth. I really love these flowers.
NoID Oncidium
Just out of flower, very cool yellow, white and maroon barred blooms. A very prolific bloomer.
Phal "Sweet Maui Sunset"
Trader Joes purchase. 2 spikes one of which I cut back about a month ago is growing new buds, the other spike just lost its last flower, and two nodes lower has began to send out two bud branches. I also just noticed I have a third spike growing!
1 NoID Phal
1 is a rescue that I brought to spike. This one has very interesting deep maroon leaves that I've read usually produces a red or pink flower?
3 months in! My complete collection Brief Overview, and Thank You!
