Can you take a better head-on flower shot? some measurements. looks like broughtonia, but may be hybrid or something

Nanook, I have struggled with lost tags -We have chipmunks that seems to love to pull them from the pots and throw them on the ground. I think they want to sleep in the bark.

So, I started photographing each orchid when I buy it, especially as if it is in flower (which is usually the case). I store the photo with the proper name. Then when one with a lost tag orchids flowers, I match it up. I've "re-labeled" 4 or 5 this way now.

Until the no-tag orchid flowers it gets a NOID tag with a number so I can continue to track it's progress.

Just a practice that works for me that I thought I'd share.

That's soo pretty! I like the pseudobulbs! Are they that flat against the plaque? Either way....I think I just added another one to my wish list!

Carrie, you always seem to have the best tips! Thanks for that one!

Thanks Island Girl. I've learned soooo much from this Board that I'm glad I could contribute back.

Happy Growing
