Most Recent November Blooms

[Junebug]

Hello Everyone,

I haven't had the chance to post much lately. First I was dealing with a minor health issue and most recently I was cooking my tail off. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

These are my most recent November bloomers. Enjoy!

Lc. Egeria Coerulea now has 5 blooms. The latest two just opened.

Bc. Maikai noid...Not sure which variety, but the color is true on the photos and the freckles are prominent on the lip, but not so much on the other petals and sepals. This one was on it's last leg and rescued from a friend two years ago.

Ascoscenda noid...most likely a Dong Tarn 'Robert'. Her largest keiki is also in spike.

My Catasetum pileatum 'Oro Verde' produced female blooms this time. Last year they were male. A small secondary spike recently emerged and her leaves have not begun dropping yet.

A curiosity...For the first time, my noid Cattleya 'Big Momma' produced these two out of season blooms. The rest of her sheaths should begin developing buds in the near future and begin blooming in January. Big Momma is a vigorous grower and has nearly filled out her 15" container. Her blooms are fragrant.
