Hello to all, my name is Edel, I am a new member to this board. My compliments for the great informative site, it is very neat, friendly and informative. A little about my self, I 45 year old Cuban lady, raised in the USA, I live in central Florida and I just LOOOOOOOVE orchids! I have a about 50 orchids, some in vases around the house, some on wood slabs, and some on a tree branch my husband cemented in a container for me. I get lots of compliments on the "orchid tree" and the orchids love it there. I look forward to many informative chats with all of you. Thanks!

Hi, I have some phals, 3 paphs toghether in a cystal bowl, 1 Odontoglossom, a few Ociduims, a few Dendrobiums, one in particular is the prettiest in bloom right now it is a Den. "Upin King Serenade" that has 26 blooms on it. There are 23 blooms on a 14-15" cane, and 3 blooms on a smaller 9"cane. In the morning it fills the licving room with a fruity and flowery scent that resembles fruity bird food, it is breathtaking. I will try to post pictures. Acouple other Dens. are also in bloom now. I have a "Jewel" orchid, 1vanda on the tree, a terrestrial vanda that has pencil-like stems, and I have a really small orchid that was brought to me from Puerto Rico. Actually, I have been searching all kinds of sites trying to identify it. It is a small clump of 6 pseudobulbs that start perfectly round and later enlogate to look like part of a cane. It has not bloomed yet, I guess it will be easier to identify when it does. I will take a pic. and submitt for review, maybe someone can shed some light. I think it is in the Cirrhopetalum family.
