Some blooms that opened while I was away on holiday

Here are some blooms that opened while I was away on break.

Lc. Floralia's Azul x C. amethystoglossa

This is probably the easiest orchid I have for me to grow. Sadly it smells terrible...








Encycli-Prostheche-anachili...something sima

Wet grower. Has a very strong and wonderful fragrance. It's floral, sweet, and a little bit citrusy... somewhat like walkeriana.

The buds are dark red and it creates a nice contrast with the white, crystalline blooms. The column has an interesting shape...






NoID - Rhyncholaelia hybrid

A salvaged clearance BetterGro Bag Baby






Another BetterGro Bag baby...
Rhyncholaeliocattleya Thelma Ayako Tsukamoto 'Volcano Queen' Probably damaged from the cold temps outside. still, did ok in 40 oF weather!

Beautiful, Jeff! That.... whatever sima is really cool.

Great! I hope people look at the plants and realize that is how Catts appear with good light.

Very nice! Encyclia Sima is one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Blooms last for a long time too.

Surprising that Lc. Floralia's Azul x amethystoglossa smells terrible! How'd that happen?!?

Very nice!

Encyclia sima is wonderful - I got it at Andy's after I saw your post


yeah... I lost the fragrance lottery on that one.

I love the Floralia’s Azul x guttata and the Encyclia/Prosthechea!
