Default A few more to share...

The chids are all seem to be very happy these days...here are a few more that are blooming now:

Rynchostylis coelestis...with 3 spikes this time

Phal cornu-cervi...just lost one bloom but there are more coming in addition to a second spike. Just goes to show...don't give up on the ones you really love
I killed two of these before this baby found it's way to me

Phal equestris (Three Times A Lady x Blue Too)...
this is the one plant I would grab if I could only take one with me
It is a superstar, almost always in bloom, usually multiple spikes, has 4 keikis and two spikes at the moment.
It was a gift from Gin a few years ago and is absolutely my best-growing chid

The last photo shows the blooms from my 2 Prostechea cochleata, sitting next to each other. The cultivar 'John' is a larger plant and has larger blooms. Both of these are also almost always blooming...sometimes they take turns

As usual, a pleasure to see your photos but the composition and color on the first one is stunning.

The two Phals are two of my all-time favorites! Both are beautiful.

The Ryncho is going to look a amazing once it's in full bloom! I knew you loved Phal equestris, but I didn't know you loved it so much that it's your favorite. What about your Chocolate Drop catts? I thought those were your favorites!

LOL

I can't pick an actual "favorite" chid...but Phal equestris is my favorite Phal and C Chocolate Drop is my favorite Catt.

This particular plant of Phal equestris is such an amazing grower, I would have to say out of my own collection (I have 5 or 6 other Phal equestris) this plant would be the one to go with me.

Wow, great pics.

I'm a fan of Phal equestris and every pic I see just makes me more sure it should be top of my wish list.

The others are also fantastic, I love the intresting flower shape of the Prostechea cochleata.

I can't grow a Phal equestris to save my life...
Your's is beautiful as always. I can totally understand why you'd take this one first. I don't think that I've ever seen it NOT in Bloom!
Great job flowering Sue!

You're so right! This chid might have a week or two through the year when there are no actual blooms on it but at those times, there are spikes growing and keikis popping up!

Nice pics Sue. We all know that in case of emergency, you'd grab at least 4.

My question is about the cochleata 'John'. It does look bigger, petals look longer too. Is this an awarded plant?
