Two First Bloom Seedlings
Got to see two first bloom seedlings this week:
RLC Dendi's Gem (RLC Suncoast Sunspots x Jungle Gem)
Bought 6 or 8 of these from Sunset Valley Orchids, incl the reciprocal cross. This is technically the second to bloom, but a slug enjoyed the first one before the bud opened.
RTH Flying Free (C. Seagulls Apricot x RTH Free Spirit)
This is Ron Midgett (New Earth Orchids) breeding. Ron used to live in NJ, but is now in NM. He was at the Deep Cut show as a vendor in February, and I took the opportunity to stock up on his mini Catts.
The one blooming has 2" flowers. This plant was so large, that I actually divided it when I repotted that group.
