Tolumnia Jairak Rainbow 'flyer': I got this from Louisiana Orchid Connection in August. It was labeled first bloom size with no flower picture. This is my first Tolumnia and thought it was kind of fun not knowing what I would get. I LOVE this one! Of course I searched pics to see what it might look like, and out of all that I have seen, this is absolutely the color I would have chosen. It's actually a slightly darker, rich color in person. Even better, there are two growths, and the other one has a tiny spike. Fingers crossed!
Bulbophyllum ovalifolium (red): This came from Andy's back in March. It was one he chose for me based on my set up conditions and the other plants I chose. The picture is from October 14 - first time it bloomed for me. The plant is at least 1/3 bigger than when I got it. There were 3 buds, 1 didn't open, and the other two only lasted a couple of days, but they made me happy
There is a bud about to open right now (Nov 9) and I've read once these are happy, they are ever blooming.
A side note: notice the difference in clarity in the pictures of the two plants. I bought a set of those macro lenses that clip on to your phone on Amazon for $13, specifically thinking of taking pictures of my mini orchids. Definitely worth it.
