Default Three current bloomers

The first one is my Stanhopea Occulata with its minty chocolate scented blooms. These are the second and third spikes to bloom. Bizzarro!!!
The second one is Gongora Galeata. 18 spikes (so far) in various stages of forming, blooming and shedding. To me they look like fat orange bees. Very slight citrus smell.
The last one is Blc. Hawaii Stars. This guy rocks! I bought it in a bag at Lowes back in March and it has tripled in size since then by adding 4 new p'bulbs. Royal is right about the soft green coloring. Very soft floral smell in the afternoon.
ps: Yes I do like to burn all my plants in the sun

TikiGeorge,

Wow, these are beautiful. I like all of them the best. My favorite photo however is the first one of the stanhopea...you just gotta love the detail shown here.

The gongora is displayed in a very cool way in the second set of photos...well done!

Gotta love the Stanhopinae. Good for you with the 18 spikes!! Gongoras sure are more than willing to show their stuff!
