Vuyl. Melissa Brianne 'Shady Lady'

Well, after two long years ( and many threats ) she finally comes through! Even then, out of 4 fat P-bulbs only one gave a spike.
I think the "fangs" on the lip are cool that's the Odont touch

Vuylstekeara is an intergeneric hybrid consisting of Cochlioda, Miltonia, and Odontoglossum.

The second shot is what keeps me sane at work - my 'chids

The last pic was very brave of me! Mama was NOT happy with me and kept dive-bombing me while I was up on the ladder - I made it fast! A few days later, these babies started flying lessons and we had to scramble to round up the 3 outdoor cats for an overnight inside - even born a bird, one does not just take off and soar!!! Now, they are almost the size of the parents, but with squeaky teenage voices - lol!!!

Lovely Vuylstekeara!

Gorgeous 'chids, Mom!

Not sure because I don't know your setup, but if you want more flowers increase the light! as this one has Miltonia clowesii and spectabilis as major parents in the breeding line it can stand it. keep the rest the same.

I was so intrigued with this beauty that I checked the name and breeding line.

This clone was registered and awarded as :

Lovely orchids and I love the pattern and color of the Vuylstekeara.

I can see why anyone would love going to work with all those orchids there! Pure heaven!
And those little birds are too cute! I think it's really cool that you kept them from being cat food on their first flight

Thanks,
