Shade House Blooms

[Junebug]

I'm loving my new shade house. My hubby built it last fall. It's still a bit under construction but my plants don't care. Now they have room to stretch out and reach for the sun and they're so much happier.

Here are a few of my current shade house bloomers. They're all noids except for the recently mounted Pot. Richard Young 'Cariad's Colette'. Her bloom is oriented sideways due to the sudden pot to mount transition.

The maroon Den. Blooms and spike are from 2 divisions of the same plant. One plant is pot grown and the other is mounted to a halved coconut. These plants (formerly plant) had no blooms and was sooo sick when it came to live with me. All it had came with was 4 severely shriveled canes, 3 or 4 leaves and a bunch of dried up dead roots.

The Noid Den. with lavender blooms was a Mother's Day gift from my son 2 years ago. Thank you, Casey.

I've posted many photos of the red Ascda. noid. Best guess I.D. has been Ascda. Dong Tarn 'Robert' but you can never be sure. It has 4 spikes this time. Two from top of mother, one from base of mother, and one from keiki.
