My Hodge Podge Picture Day - Orchid Board

Hi Folks!
I've been moving around my orchids and noticing new things taking place.
I noticed a spike on my Blue Tahourdin x Neofinetia Falcata 'White Flamingo!' That snuck up on me! I am also including my picture taken last year of what mine looks like blooming. (hummm, it didn't attach, but will try again).
Next I am showing a picture of my Brass. Little Stars and the bottom of the wooden hanger. I didn't know orchids had toes!!!!

Anyway, I thought that was so funny, I had to take a picture of it.
My Milt. Rene Komoda 'Pacific Clouds' is starting to bloom. I have two spikes with buds...one open and one still to go! Very fragrant!!!!!!
And I have to include my passion flower bloom I had the other day. Now that is an incredible flower!
Sorry folks, couldn't add that attachment of the Neo in bloom from last year. What can I say, I'm a novice.

Very nice Kiki, it's always fun to find things poping.

Ooo I love the passion flower especially! I've always adored those beauties. Great work on the orchids as well!

Little brassie toes! looks like it had to grow some fingers to get a better grip!

Wonderful! It truly is a great experience to check over the 'chids and find out they are springing forth with some sort of nice growth, be it toes or flowers. I've recently had a couple plants with roots that looked dead spring out with toes.

i love the passion flower, it reminds me of home in Trinidad, alot of the trees are covered in them this time of year

My passion flowers have just come up out of the ground maybe a week ago... still only have 2 leaves.

You must grow yours indoors?!

It looks great, I can't wait to see mine!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.
Frank, the passion flower is grown indoors, yes. I actually have 4 different types of them in my sunroom taking over the place but so gorgeous. Actually, they are only year old slips, so have only seen a few blooms so far, but looking forward to many more. I've been told to cut them way back in the late fall.
