What's in bloom?
After moving all the 'chids into their shelter, I realized how many are in bloom and decided to take some 
This will have to be a two-part post as there are more than ten in bloom! |

Hi Barbara 
The plant is B. Little Stars but it's not on the driftwood, it's coming from the pot next to it. Right now, they're all crowded together for a few days. |

Thanks. Guess I wasn't being specific enough, I meant the last picture. And it's on a log I believe. It's very pretty and I looks familiar.  |

That little guy is Haraella odorata aka Haraella retrocalla. It's a constant bloomer...first blooming was just one bud but since then, it's 3 or 4 at a time, constantly! It's supposed to have a very lemony fragrance but I haven't been able to smell anything

Oooh, pretty!
Newbie time:
In the second set of pictures, in the second picture - is that algae growing inside the plastic pot?? I assume that's ok? |

Hi...yes, there's algae in a number of the pots but everything is doing wonderfully so I've decided not to do anything about it. If it ain't broke...don't fix it
I am not saying that this is the 'right' thing to do, don't want to mislead anybody, but the algae has not caused any problems...if anything, I think it may be helping in the growth process. |
