Hi Bill, Have gone through my photos and it's hard to believe but I guess I've never taken a picture of the Roth! It's in its second blooming this year and has been out more than five weeks so is past its prime but I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
Sorry, Bill! I took the plant down to get a photo and the
lowest bloom fell off. The one still there is really on it's last legs so I'll have to forego the picture until the next blooming when it looks good again!
O.K. I'll give this the old newbie try.In bloom:Paph glaucophyllum x phillipinense,4 blooms,one bud on one spike,2 spikes just finished w/ seed pods;4 phal noids;blc Haussermanns firewing[smells fantastic],Otaara Krull Smith'Riverbend', one bloom,one triple bud ,and three anthuriums. In bud, Otochilus fuscus and Aerangis biloba w/two spikes.Other than that,the weather has been pretty cruddy here.Where have all the flowers gone?[ I think one oxymoron and one stale pun is quite enough..for now]Lots of vegetative growth so it's not been a total loss.Oh my ,I gotta pay attention..Phal bellina has three buds,one per spike.Yeehaa.
