My Orchids in Bloom Update

[voyager]

I was getting tired of having to work too hard to smell the fragrant flowers.
So, I moved them into the lanai and hung them at nose level:

The ones hung on the screen wall are 2 Max. tenuifolias and the Encyclia odoratissima pictured earlier in this thread.
Then, the Den. Yukidaruma 'King', also pictured earlier in this thread, is on the table, plus the non fragrant Hwra. Lava Burst with its two new spikes.

Here are the Max. tenuifolias:

Notice the difference between the plants.
The one on the left, on the larger raft, has much larger PB's and flowers than the one on the right.
But, they both reek of coconut.

This little Epidendrum was actually planted in the dirt.
It seems to be adapting to it:


This is another Den. Yukidaruma 'King' that I didn't know that I had mounted:

It had been gifted to me as just bare PBs to tie onto the trees.

I had not seen what these were going to be like either:

I have this NoID Den. Nobile hybrid in 2 locations, a pleasant surprise.

This is Epi. Hula Dancer 'Paradise Orange':

It is mounted up high in the tree.
I'm hoping for a better bloom next time.
It has only been a month or so since I mounted it.

That's all for now.
But, I do have more on their way.

Love what you've done to the place! Looks like a happy place for you and 'chids!

Looking good.

I missed one yesterday:

I did post a pic of this one in the very front of this thread, late last November. 4 months later it has bloomed again.
I had also posted a pic of another mounting of this same Catt type that had bloomed a few months later that the first.
That leads me to think that, between the 2 mountings, this one could bloom 4X a year.

Here it is again as it is now:

AND, ... I saw some at the weekend market last Sunday.
They had labels on them as:
Bromeliad 'Robin'
They looked the same with the same double, red quill and yellow flowers, except that the stripes down the middle of the leaves were very light greenish white.
It is possible the reddish color has developed with age or high light conditions.
If my memory serves me, these had little to no red in the leaves when I bought them.
And, if you compare the 2 pics of these in this thread, the red in the leaves looks darker in this photo.

This one was labeled as being an Epic. Hainying Orange 'Ching Hua'.
It sure don't look orange to me. But, it does look to have Encyclia in it:


I posted a pic of this one just after I bought it. I finally mounted it in a tree yesterday. It is a NoID antelope Dendrobium, hybrid. Its flowers last a very long time.


I picked this Vanda type, labeled as a Mkra. Booncho Gold, at the Pahoa farmer's market yesterday. It has another flower spike starting on the other side of the stem one or two leaves up from the one in bloom.


And finally something else. It ain't an orchid, but I still like it.

The color of the quills is beautiful and when looking down from above, the stripes on the leaves run in circles around the center of the plant. a very striking Bromeliad.

Got a few more coming up in a few days. More pics when they're ready.
