They are all quite beautiful. My favorite is definitely the Aerangis and the Cynoches. I couldn't narrow it down to one! I relly love them all though. Thank you for posting each week.
Do you have any cultural tips for the Aerangis?

Sue, I know you meant that for Jim, but as an Aerangis/Angraecum grower I can tell you for certain that humidity is the thing. Jim seems to have it dialed in (I am waiting for his answer). I have never had luck without high humidity.

I don't have high humidity. On a great day RH is 70%. It averages around 60%. Mine has bloomed twice. Granted not as well as yours Ross, but it does bloom. That makes me think there may be some other issues Sue's plant is having. Didn't you have it in the tank for a while Sue?

Hi guys.... My aerangis is growing with my Paphs. at about 50% humidity now, I water it 3 times a week with rain water fert. w/MSU once a week. I would think Sue would not have a humidity problem in Fla. Jim.

The orchids are all beautiful but I LOVE THE BACKGROUND! I haven't seen snow in any significance in many years. Nice touch!

Great Aerangis bloom! There's a great juxtaposition between that huge spray of tropical flowers and the snow outside your window.
