Thumbs up SPIKES! YAY!
Our first really good weather weekend and I didn't have any obligations so I cleaned the greenhouse.

Inspected all the plants, repotted a bunch, watered, sprayed for bugs and found SPIKES!!!

There they were peeking out at me saying "here we are, it's spring!"

I have spikes on the below:

Burr Stefan Isler (3)
Maumeneara Queen Adelia (3)
Notylia (species - can't remember the name) (2)
Den lindleyi (2)
Wilsonara Hot Spot 'Exotic Perfusion' (2)
Haraella retrocalla (2)
Onc. sphacelatum (1)
Tolumnia bahamense (1)
Den. victoria-reginae
Den. Waianae Valley 'Ruffles' (3 blooming)
Anacheilium cochleatum
Ascda Su-Fun Beauty 'Orange Belle' (1 blooming)
Encyclia (species - can't remember the name) (1 huge spike with about 30 buds)
A bunch of Phals & Dtps (blooming) - they're on my desk at work.

And I found my first EVER real live sheath on my Blc. Fort Sumter 4947 x Mac Holmes ‘Newberry’ AM/AOS. I HOPE I can get it to bloom.

I love spring.

Congrats on the spikes!

The only things in flower for me right now are the purchases I made at the greenfest and Tampa orchid show. Everyone else is growing leaves and roots.

Thumbs up
Okay now I have to take pictures.

The little Maumeneara Queen Adelia 'Kilaani' bloomed really nice so I decided at the last minute to take it to the Memphis Orchid Society Show.

It was pulled for AOS judging and awarded HCC/AOS!

My first AOS award! The judges called it a cute little mutt.

I promise to take nice pictures today and post.

Maumeneara Queen Adelia 'Kilaani' HCC/AOS (78 points). Not bad for a $12 Better Gro Baggie from Lowes.

As a side note, one of the orchids that my husband saved at the Botanic Gardens got a double award.

Encyclia stellata 'Memphis' CCM/AOS CHM/AOS (82 & 83 points)

I'll get a photo of it too. GREAT weekend and really fun show.

I clerked and I was also invited to sit in with the AOS judging.

I learned so much.
