These are some pictures of these 8 noid tolumnias when I bought them in Aug 2012. They have all multiplied quite a bit.

These will always be a NOID. However, my Tolumnia have tags. The orange one looks like my "Genting Orange". The pink one below it, looks like "Pretty In Pink". The darker red/organge one looks like "Genting Volcano". The red one below that is "Pink Lady". And the last one, looks like, "Red Berry". Again, I can only say "looks like" because your flowers look like mine. It is nice to see these in bloom now, mine bloom in December/January. You give me something to look forward!

Note: I read somewhere that Tolumnia with a surname of "Genting" were from Taiwan?

[NYCorchidman]

Red Berry is almost always solid color.
The only thing that is quite close is the pink one.
Then again, with that odd spots, it could be Pretty N Pink or Pink Panther, or something completely different.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they are all from the same cross. I bought two tolumnias of the same cross from Ten Shin Gardens back in January.
One is white with dark eye with no spots. The other one is yellow with fine orange spots. Both are fragrant. Go figure. lol

The first one in the pic is quite distinct in that it has very full lip.

Very beautiful! The first, third, and fifth are my favorite. I have one Tolumnia myself, well two but the second is a micro mini (in spike I might add ). They are pleasantly surprising little plants.

Good growing!

Here's an update on my tolumnia totem pole.
The top totem is not doing well, too dry. Many of the tolumnia didn't make it there. But those that survive are now thriving. Putting out about 6 flowering spikes now.

I like your tolumnia totem pole.

I wish I lived some place where I could grow orchids like that outside. I have a few Tolumnias I love them. All I can grow in Tahoe are pine trees and a handful of hardy plants.

you bought them for less than $1. That is cool.

[lotis146]

Beautiful! Sorry to hear they didn't all do so well but hey that's survival of the fittest. I look forward to seeing more pics when the rest of the spikes are doing their thing.
