[Jeff214]

Some recent blooms over from cloudy san diego.


Cattleya warneri x Laelia alaorii
Here's a small cattleya thats already bloomed earlier this year. wonderful fragrance.





Dendrobium Gatton Sunray
Large dendrobium - I grow it outdoors year round, full sun. Blooms in early June each year.





Cattleya schroederae
First time blooming on this one. Came out really wonky. Fragrance is delightful... something like fancy black tea... darjeeling???



Laelia Zip
These are just starting to open up. Such an intense red!




Dendrobium victoria-reginae
These are my favorite. Ever since I moved to San Deigo, the blooms have been more purple. I read somewhere that bluer hues are correlated with cooler temps. too hot!




and a non orchid plant!
