I Finally got some flowers

[RJSquirrel]

been a long winter and looks like going to go one a little longer. Havent had as much trubble as some others of you but the troubles been all mine. My plants been living in between the garage and backyard. Leaving them outside in the cold is traumatic for all involved. The catts, paphs, and masdys all stay outside until it hits just below 40 and I feel a need to bring them in to avoid any light frosting on the leaves. I finally got some blooms ..

I got this at the orchid meeting in bud and its a big purty flower. Has a slight bruise on one of the petals but other than that a very nice flower. Smells very nice also.
Its a Cattleya lueddemanniana x LC Nancy is what the tag says and its from Penningtons orchids. I cant find an LC Nancy on the web and I dont have the O'wiz. Hard to show in the photo the light lavender dusting all over the flower. It gets a little darker each day.




guarianthe aurantiaca. A nice big plant with the smallest flowers of the genus. Been budding since way back since before I can remember. Thought they was blasted when they turned yellow. Next day they were orange and a few days later they opened up. Have one flower late for the party and 2 other canes with 8 more buds. Suppose to bloom in spring. Quite a large plant but grows well in hot or cold.



and this is Coconut Cream 'Cream Puff' x Freckles 'Adrienne' HCC/AOS. Nice small plant with a nice flower with freckles. Im leaning my paphs toward complexs and whites. Have lots of deperle x on the way with lots of hairy buds
