current blooms... - Orchid Board

due to my workload and some private activities, I have not been very active here duringthe last time... however, I read the threads from time to time

Today I was working in my greenhouse and took some pics of plants which are currently blooming.... Mobile Phone shots, therefore low quality...

some info about the plants:

Dendrobium Ueang Phueng, is the primariy lindleyii x jenkinsii, and combines (IMO) the best of boths plants: floriferousness of the first and small size of the second

Dracula navarrorum was sold as such, but it is obviously not... Still do not have a correct ID for this plant...

Spathoglottis vanoverberghii is a deciduous miniature species. This plants with 5 PBs fits on my hand! It would make a great Project plant (unfortunately, not easy to find!)

Tolumnia Peach is very interesting because the flowers open pretty dark orange and then turn almost yellow. In the photo, all flowers are from the same spike!

and some more flowers...

ok, the last pictures are neither orchids nor from my greenhouse, but I have seen these interesting Primulas at the garden center and there was that hawk-moth flying around too, which I thought was great!

Great blooms, Ramon, you've really got some nice diversity in your collection! Cool moth, too, sphinx moths are awesome to see. I can never bear to kill the caterpillars in the garden even though they really decimate my tomatoes...

Nice pics Ramon!

Even with a camera phone. I think my favorite has got to be that Tolumnia, where did you find it?
Love the little moth, I'm surprised that these little 'hummingbirds' are already here.

Amazing Ramon! What a wouldn't give to explore your greenhouse. You always have the most amazing pics.

How long have you been growing orchids?

Thanks for sharing.

Camille, the Tolumnia is from Akerne!

I was also very surprise with that early-moth... I normally see them in summer...
