Hi, Camille!
I think I have all the color spectrum now, well, I dumped the green Jade last fall. it just looked 'suspicious' lol
The fourth one is nobile hybrid, Oriental Smile Fantasy "AD/AOS" my favorite! It does look like cattleya flower in a way. It bloomed like they should forming a dense cluster along the cane, which is all gone now, but then some flowered on top just last week and there are some toward the bottom of the cane that bloomed last season. So it looks kinda funny with 5 flowers on top and 5 flower on the bottom, but they smell and look great! The individual flower size is much larger reaching 3.7 across. don't know what caused this change. last year, it was at least one inch smaller, which is quite the difference. all the ones I see at stores ( I see lots of Oriental Smile this year, became a trend or something) have smaller flowers.
InspirChid1712- I would love to have them outside for summer, but no space for that. They would go crazy. multiple canes and more flowers!!!
My favorite orchids are dendrobiums. They grow so well and flowers are beautiful and long lasting. some smell quite nice. what more can I ask?
