Well, it has (once again) been a long time since I have updated you all with new pictures, mostly because it is simply depressing taking pictures with our pitiful point and shoot, but today I decided to take three of my new Phals that are also in bloom outside for some pictures, and it turned out surprisingly well, so I just went and got more Phals and took a bunch of pictures! (19 to be exact)
First off, I will start with three out of the five new plants that I got from Crystal Star Orchids last Friday (I would've posted much earlier, but I had a school grad and then I went out of town for a funeral).
Here is the three that had buds that are now in bloom. Left to right is
equestris 'Red', Princess Kaiulani 'Chin Yo', and Purple Martin 'K.S'
The PM 'K.S.' has two mature spikes and one that is still quite small, but it has been growing like crazy! I noticed that our point and shoot consistently makes everything more blue than in reality, so I edited the picture to make it quite close to what is real.
The one that I was most excited for, the Princess Kaiulani opened soon after receiving it, and it is quite spectacular!!
And the
equestris 'Red', which has quickly pushed out many new blooms since I got it, and now is carrying two pods, both of which I hope make it! One flower holds pollen from my
venosa, and the other from a TSFE that Jim donated to me.
Oh, I also decided to quickly toss in a picture of my Joshua Irwin Ginsberg 'Kupo's Valentine', because I was picture happy!
A Phaltastic Update!
