Need help on designing an Orchid Calendar

[dipoledipole]

Hi wonderful people of orchid board, I'm planning to design and illustrate an orchid calendar that would feature orchids that bloom in each specific months, please comment below your experiences with orchids that would consistently bloom within a certain month, your help is much appreciated!

Great project idea!

hmm ... generally, you would be looking more at which seasons they most typically bloom, and even at that, the bloom period can 'bleed' into the previous and subsequent season.

But, that said, I'm sure we can help with the seasons.

For instance, my Neofinetia (now Vanda) falcaltas all bloom in early summer.

My Dendrobium bigibbum blooms reliably in autumn (usually October-November).
My Den kingianum blooms reliably in late winter-early spring.

My Aerangis citrata blooms early winter.

I'll try to think of more - hopefully others will add!

Good luck!

If you go to the St Augustine orchid society website, then look for the display tables photos, you can see images of blooming plants brought in by members each month of the year. That should give you an idea of which plants bloom when!
