Thanks, all. Colorado is finally seeing signs of spring coming and the days have been so beautiful here. The sun pours through our west windows and warms the whole house and this plant really cranks out the scent... Makes the room smell wonderful.

Here is my newest Tolumnia from the orchid show...

Ooh, love the spots!

Thank you! I love the colors. They're super vivid in real life.

I need to stop buying tolumnias. I haven't had them long enough to rebloomed and thus have no idea if I'm making them happy or not!

Here is an updated photo of my new tolumnia. The flower is finally fully open. Take with my 4s but I'd like to get a proper photo this weekend with my canon, I just haven't the time!

not sure i got it in bloom at Wegmans in december. so i really cant say. im not very good with onc to begin with either, ive only ever gotten 1 to spike (still waiting for the tiny buds to grow!) mine isnt particularly healthy either, so its not doing so great right now.

I ant all of my Oncs in sh...sharry baby has also filled her deli pot with roots...it's really quite impressive. I will plant this one in sh soon too. They love it!

I love Hilo Honey as well. I see a few stores sell them now. vibrant color and nice scent!

One of my Tolumnia Popoki Mitzi bloomed last week, just one flower off main spike. The color is odd by the way.
It looks as if it's been bleached out. hmmm
I will have to see how it does on the next bloom, hopefully back to red.

Oh, and one of my Pink N Pretty is spiking again on its new growth. It grew two new leads, but the other one is rather small and no flower spike.
This picture is only three days old but the spike is growing fast. I don't know what to do as the spike continues to grow becuase it is currently hanging under lamp light and there's risk of getting burned.
Getting out of the light setting might reduce the flower count. hmmm

They look great! Even if the color is a bit washed out, it's still lovely. I am still hankering for a popoki. But again, I need to see if my care of my tolumnias is good enough to grow them to spike again. I have my one in sh and it isn't doing much besides possibly growing out a bunch of roots. We shall see...
