as promised, here is some eye candy of my blooms. almost all buds are open. i even have some SCENTED noid phals! and they werent scented last summer
phal. noid- this one smells like a mix of sedirea japonica with a tipple of neofinetia falcata!
phal noid- this one smells like gardenia! but only around noon, and some days its missing a scent altogether. sadly, today ( the date of the OS meeting ) it didnt smell!
another noid phal!- this one is unscented, with blooms that are 4 1/2" i mounted it last june
phal equestris- no smell- got this one last september from sure, i won it in her article contest! it keeps about 2 blooms open at a time. so far, it has had 8 blooms come and go. its holding 2 ATM, and has buds waiting their turn
sedirea japonica- smells like gastro japonica, lol! like citrussy, a hint of n. falcata. inexplicable! it is FAB! got this one at the SEPOS (longwood) show in bud
masdevallia angel tang- non scented- im so proud of this one! i got it in buds at the SEPOS show and that bud bloomed. since then, it grew a lead and this bloom (2 blooms total). so i take at least partial credit for the 2nd flower. its almost fully open
blurry-
paph. fairrieanum 'green giant' X paph hsinying citron '1309'- un-smelly-got this one in bud from the SEPOS show as well. it is a multiflora that currently has 2 blooms.
me with mega-phal
