Your magic refrigerator is well, magic! That Masdie looks very happy and the blooms are too cute!

But I lost buds of Dracula chestertonii and Trisetella regia. I don't know why.

Beautiful Toluminas!! This is a genus I've always wanted to try, and your post reminds me of how much I would love to have one or more of these in my collection.

That Eria is really cool looking, and it seems like the flowers are going to be microscopic in size?

[Akhenaten]

Tolumnias do well in small 1" mesh or clay pots without substrate. Watering daily by spraying. In cold winter weeks 2-3 times a week. Very bright light. Highly recommended

Conchidium has hair-like peduncles, but the flowers are 1/2 inch or a little smaller.

My first Cattleya nobilior bloomed. This is Cattleya Nobilior caerulescens.
Fully bloomed around March 25th. On March 8, I started recording accelerated shooting of bud growth, but on March 20, the camera stopped recording, the batteries ran out
The color is very delicate, almost transparent, bluish-pinkish. The sepals are laid back, the petals are rotated along the axis, the lip with a whitish triangle and dark veins is twisted down. Live produces a pleasant, openwork, lightweight impression. Strong hyacinth aroma with hints of cloves. 3 flowers. For the quality of the video I'm sorry, this is only the second attempt of such records, but I really want to show













And an accelerated form with the growth of buds

Whoah! Lovin' that video. Keep working on it... fresh batteries perhaps?

[Akhenaten]

Thank you for appreciating my cinematography I use only new batteries from the package I'm waiting for the Energizer ultra lithium to start filming the development of the Angraecum aloifolium bud.
