Wanted to go out and do a good 60 mile bike ride this afternoon but we're getting nailed with thunder storms. So I pulled a couple bloom pics off the camera that I havent posted yet. The first one is Phal Wedding Promenade, or supposed to be. It was a rescue from Lowes a few years back. This will be its last bloom since its thrown up a terminal leaf.....if there is such a thing. The next one is Zygosepalum 'Rhein Clown'. Second time its bloomed for me this year. It has four nice big blooms on it. Which I accidently sprayed while watering so some of them have some discoloration no and I also broke off the 5th bud......I was having a heck of a day. The last one is my pride and joy. Until this past year I've always killed my dens. Well this Little Den unicum is making me feel good. It has 5 open flowers and 7 buds still left to open up. I think 12 blooms on a unicum is a pretty amazing thing. Especially for such a small little plant. But thanks for looking!

lots more blooms coming soon!
