Spring Blooms- Mostly NOID Phals

[kalanchoe]

Hello All,

Here are some of my spring blooms. Some of them shouldn't count as such because they started blooming in the fall, but they're still around, so I'm including them! I've been busy with school lately, and haven't been staking spikes like I normally do, so a lot of these were just allowed to grow straight towards the window. Doesn't make for the best photos, but I still enjoy them! Here's some more info:

1-NOID
2-Dtps Jiaho Kitty Face "Rainbow"
3-NOID (I can't take credit for these flowers, as they were a birthday gift this year and came in bloom)
4-NOID (It usually makes a ton of flowers, but the spike broke of early in it's growth, and this is what grew off of the node below the break. This is an old IKEA orchid.)
5-NOID (This is an old "Just Add Ice" orchid, actually!)
6-NOID (I kid you not, that spike has been flowering since May of last year. It just sent off a new branch, so it looks like it's still going strong. This is also an old IKEA plant.)
7-Paph Maudiae x Paph Black Jack
8-NOID (Just like #3, can't take credit for this because it was a gifted to me already in bloom)
9-Phal. Memoria Tom Finney 'Wally' (can only take partial credit as it was delivered to me in bud)

Thanks for looking!

Species Phals have a charm of their own, but so do the NoID:s.

Wonderful!

I have an orchid similar to #5 that just started blooming. I *think* it's also an older Just Add Ice orchid.

Nice blooms!

How beautiful!! You have so many plants in bloom now, it must be so cheerful at your place. And even if you didn't bloom some yourself, you get to enjoy them just the same. Lovely Noids, I almost regret that I avoid buying them anymore. I do want named plants, but if I start buying Noids again, there's no stopping me since they're so cheap here!

What a lovely bunch, I love #3 & #7!!

Thanks so much, y'all!

SydneyH- how funny that you have the same one! It's been a hardy plant, so I guess we lucked out with those ones.

Camille- yeah, I don't buy NOIDs very often any more (though I get them as gifts pretty often), but that would be a good way to limit purchasing- just only buy named plants. I don't know if I could stick to it! I know some people who have a list of wanted orchids and they only buy an orchid if it's on their list.

Coconutmuffn- I'm with you, #3 is my favorite right now. What you can't tell from that picture is that the flowers are really large. Here's a picture I took with my thumb in it for reference (sorry it's not a great photo, but you get the gist):
