Beautiful blooms, Howard! And yes, as a fellow midwesterner, I agree that it's great to have something decent to look at and enjoy during such a nasty time of year.

Maybe, Gin.... but one of the flowers has already aged and has a small black spot on the tip of the staminoid... I guess nothing a little Photoshop action couldn't remove as long as you don't tell on me...   |

Looks beautiful!! I want to get some Lycastes since I really love the blooms, but first I need to see if I can even bloom the one I do have (Lycaste aromatica). I managed to not rot the new growth, so I guess that's a good thing so far.

Beautiful! How much of a winter rest do you give the macrophylla and does it get more water when in bloom?
